Beattie is one of those writers that have a canny sense of the everyday interactions between people, you know. My favorite is “Playback” so far

"Running Dreams" might be my new favorite. I don't know how I hadn't made this connection before, but Ann Beattie's writing is the gen x equivalent to Sally Rooney.

last couple stories have been alright-- nothing particularly long or impactful but I still enjoy the writing!

I really, really like “Winter 1978”
So many beautiful bits of profundity in conversations. All these stories have similar elements; deep old friendships, complicated families, evaporating marriages, and the shadow of something bigger like death.
