Collections and such

Reading a lot of s.s. collections lately (writer hispter short hand for short stories) and loving them even more than usual. The general reading public, as in my neighbour, says the short story is coming back. Did it ever go away? And it isn't just him, trickle down literary theorey – much more interesting than Reaganomics - suggests that people are going, hey, these stories are shorter than novels! And damn, they're pretty good.

That last statement is not supposed to be a jibe - as us hipster...
