James Salter recommends

Tourist Season (2007)
Enid Shomer
"[When reading Enid Shomer's stories], the thing one quickly senses is the will and the voice, someone saying, in effect, 'Relax, be comfortable, I'm going to take good care of you.' These are very fine stories."
thumb
Breaking & Entering (1980)
Joy Williams
"Breaking & Entering is in the company of Celine, Flannery O'Connor and Margeret Atwood... Joy Williams demolishes other writers."
