Raymond Carver (Cathedral) is good stuff, where a man deals with his jealousy about his wife having a male friend.

Susan Sontag with longterm illness of her friend. Cynthia Ozick, WWII sadness.

Peter Taylor, The Old Forest: masterful layer by layer revealing of an incident and the reader's gradual shift in understanding that event. Some resonance with themes of Jane Austen.
