In fact I was so excited that the first thing I did this morning was pick up Frank O'Connor's collection 'My Oedipus Complex' and read 'Jumbo's Wife'. Well, there's a good start. Then I've got some A.L. Kennedy, Ali Smith, and.... etc. I'm in, definitely.Seachangeshttp://51stories.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13774780.post-12712269251673750632010-01-01T11:06:56.703-05:002010-01-01T11:06:56.703-05:00I'm in
