Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments The Lottery and Other Stories, Shirley Jackson, 1948, United States, SHORT STORIES

"...While "The Lottery" is probably the darkest story in this collection, the twist, the dig, and the unrelenting insights into human prejudices and frailties are present throughout. Prime targets are self-satisfied matrons, whose racism and elitism are glaringly exposed..."

(E.B., p. 63)

"Shirley Jackson reminded me a bit of Muriel Spark — both female authors writing a good dose of weirdness and all things sinister. Love. I look forward to reading her novels in the future."
