Technologies of Landscape
First of all, please check out her author page:
So awesome!
Loved these stories. I'd recommend them to anyone, but I'd say you should skip Old Dogs because it is too fucking sad and I wish I could unread it. These stories of poor rural women and girls, Michiganders all, are great. Some are amazing. I had to reread the first one after I finished it, and I never ever read like that, but it had hooked me intensely from the first sentence and I needed to go through it all again.
I've read both her short story collections, and now have only her novel to read. That part sucks. I'd like more.
