Indelible acts Book

Will keep this brief. I very much enjoy Kennedy's dark and witty writing style. Found myself wanting more... Having only briefly canoodled with the modern short story genre, I have come to the conclusion that the cryptic nature of it is not so much for me. I have found few exceptions. While I very much like a bit of open endedness in a plotline, if I wanted to write my own ending, I would write my own short story. Again, I do not believe this to be a shortcoming of the short story authors that I have read, but with the current state of the short story. I pine for days of Poe, The Yellow Wall Paper, and The Story of an Hour...
