And I'm so glad you reminded me of the Peter Orner article. One of my favourite parts is this: "And something more—I wonder if Gallant's work doesn't also make some readers uncomfortable. In her stories, you become so immersed so quickly that before you know it you are mucking around deeply in someone else's screwed up life."
