Short Story Recommendations

At our short story evening, Sara Maitland and Linda Cracknell both gave recommendations of their favourite short stories. Please see below.

If you have a favourite short story or short story writer please send your recommendations to me at catriona@dgaa.net and I will put them up on the blog as part of this list. It would be fun and interesting to create a list of lots of stories for everyone to share.

“Blue Juice” by Margo Lanigan
“Collected Short Stories” by GracePaley
“In the Blue Fields” by Claire Keegan

Linda recommended: "Writing Short Stories” by Ailsa Cox and anything by either Janice Galloway or A.L. Kennedy.

Here is our first recommendation! Thank you Jim.

I saw on the 'Writer in the Storm' blog you were looking for short story recommendations and I thought I'd suggest 'Death of a Spinster' by William McIlvanney from his collection 'Walking Wounded', a wonderful piece of concise writing.
