Jean Thompson: Do Not Deny Me: Stories

Because if Kate Christensen says it "zings" and is "impossible to put down" & Kakutani deemed it "maladroit", "ridiculous" and "flawed", it is a book I definitely want to read.

I've tried desperately to keep my three dogs out of my blog. I will continue this trend for as long as I can possibly hold out. However: Oscar, my English bulldog, does have a penchant for Pynchon as you can see on my latest LAist posting of literary events in Los Angeles.
In true Hollywood style, I may post outtakes after its been up at LAist for 48 hours. Or not. Because then it becomes the dog blog instead of the lit blog, and really, who wants that?
