You're in for a treat. lol For fans, it's imo the cherry on top of her entire career. Kinda the sweet treat that ties the whole thing together and puts a bow on it. It's all refined riffs and dives into some of her seemingly favorite kinds of concept material.
Four Ways To Forgiveness is also really good. Her later short story work is, in general, my favorite of her entire catalogue. She's just kinda done with fucking around and has finally arrived at exactly the kinds of things she wants to say, and she fires them like a ping pong ball machine gun.
My my my. You definitely know how to rile someone up! Will look up both. Thanks again. Did/Have you read Always Coming Home? I couldn't get through it the first time, but images from reading it still linger in my mind.
No, I haven't actually. It's in my collection, and I have picked it up a couple times, but have never stuck with it very long. That format is one I struggle with in general, admittedly. I have a hard time engaging with it.
Oh. That's understandable.
