I've been lining up a bunch of movies and TV series based on her work, though, and I'll start watching some of that soon.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-81526518204227625562020-10-20T07:14:29.082-07:002020-10-20T07:14:29.082-07:00I have never read the short stories.

And it is nice to read short stories as a change from longer novels, especially those with 'saggy middles.' I agree that, of those that you mention here, <i>Witness...</i> is the best. Such a fine story (did you see the film?), and some strong characters, considering it's a short story.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
