So disappointed.Alas, I hoped for the same. Unfortunately this will inevitably turn into a smug-off between dutch and bigd, as is the result of 95% of the threads started by either one.

Dirtydutch 9 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 I dunno. I havn't seen Bigd around lately.McGee always seemed likely to take his own life. I imagine that's what happened. Still, I pray for his return every day. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 69 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Which one would you recommend?Both. I read Cathedral years ago, and What We Talk About....just this year, so that one's fresher in my mind. They're both great collections though. If you're only gonna get one, get the second one, just because I don't know anybody who's read it and I'd like to hear what you think. Link to post Share on other sites
whale_hunter 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I don't know why, but I felt compelled to check this guy out. I just bought Where I'm Calling From, and I'm gonna start reading it tonight. Link to post Share on other sites

I have a signed copy I believe. My wife got me into him some 10 yrs ago. If you like him I also suggest checking out Tobias Wolfe's short story collections as well. Link to post Share on other sites
