Welcome to A Narrative of their Own, a weekly publication exploring the lives and literature of women.
Welcome back to the Short Story Salon!
How did you enjoy reading the work of Lucia Berlin this past month?
Was her writing new to you?
What stories stuck with you, and why?
Did her writing remind you of that of any other short story writers?
Let us know in the comments!
I have enjoyed reading the story ‘Friends,’ which appears in A Manual for Cleaning Women, and it is this story I will look at this week.
