Here goes:
- Selected Stories 1968-1994 by Alice Munro
- Fieldwork by Mischa Berlinski
- True Grit by Charles Portis. Read by Donna Tartt--maybe best narration I've heard.
- NYer of 10/21. "My Camp" by Joshua Cohen
- NYer of 10/28. "In England, in the days before the Industrial Revolution ruined everything, there were two professions a gentleman could pursue: wine merchant and rare-book dealer. Neither required undue exertion."
- NYer of 11/11: Barry Blitt's cover is Lady Liberty walking a tightrope.
- NYer of 11/4: Profile of Mati Diop , director of Dahomey, a film about the repatriation of indigenous art. (Touki Bouki directed by her uncle).
- Legion of Super-Heroes Before the Great Darkness. Steven Ditko's fill in issues seem aggressively cartoonish
- Ronia, the Robber's Daughter. Lovely, episodic story about growing up and forgining relationships.
- The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume One, 1929-1964. Read all these short stories decades ago. Still remembered and like Asimov, Clarke, Keyes. New appreciation for James Blish, Fritz Leiber, Tom Godwin. Something worthwhile in all of them.
