THE MUSHROOM HUNTER
It's been a while since I posted up a short story. I wrote this one a few years ago, but recently turned it into an audio story. It was challenging to narrate this one in the first person, in the voice of an older dude. Oh, and also, it's a sad story. If you like you can lsten to the story here, or read it below. Thanks for stopping by. Rain for five days now. Been mostly inside, except to make su

What a beautiful review. I don't usually read a book review before starting the novel, but yours is the exception. I love your line, "Maybe healing is

"I think I can officially say this is the best fiction I’ve read this year so far, and honestly, when it comes to Ann Patchett, I shouldn’t be surprised anymore. She has this almost unfair ability to take ordinary human lives, complicated relationship"

"There’s nothing I can write here that could truly give enough praise or express how much this book meant to me—it might just be the best thing I’ve read all year. It made me scream-cry. It hurt me more than I expected. It shattered me into pieces. It"

“I tapped a few keys, wrote, 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life,' and stared at the sentence. Who had initially said that? Honestly, it wasn’t all that inspirational. If you were in a really dark place facing an even darker future—for example, held hostage in a mountain cabin by a serial killer—wouldn't a message like that make you want to slit your wrists? (Natalie - Secondary Feathers)”

“The first time I thought I was in love with Mitchell, it was raining. Not in a romantic, Jane Austen kind of way—just a steady, inconvenient drizzle that made my feet wet and my hair frizz. We were standing outside a coffee shop after a long, overly intellectual conversation about some book he had bought about Japanese culture, and I remember laughing too loudly at something he said that wasn’t really funny. In hindsight, I realize I wasn’t in love—I was just relieved. Relieved that Mitchell Simon seemed to want me. Relieved that someone like him, with his carefully pressed shirts, strict routines and iron-clad opinions, had chosen me. I mistook that relief for love. I knew better now.”

“I stare at the chipped, black polish on her chewed fingernails and try so hard not to cry. I was going to be there for all of it. I wanted to be.
When I look up, her eyes are teary, too. She was like that when she was little; we’re both like that. If we’re not actively trying to block out the feelings of the people around us, they seep in and hurt like our own. Or, maybe she’s having her own feelings now—maybe I’m feeling some of hers.”
