Theodore’s Reviews > The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter > Status Update

In an attempt to actually finish this collection instead of keep at the stop-start pace I’ve been going at, I’ll just be reading one story a day until it’s all done.

The best part of a short story collection is that you can put it down for two months and return to it later

Read a few more stories this morning. “He” being a standout, very arresting in its realism and the emotional burst at the end really got me. Porter was a gifted writer who creates very realistic (often tragically so) characters
