I recently got into George Saunders’ short stories and saw that you were a fan of his. (I know I’m behind in reading my Substack, I’m behind in reading books, email, life...) Anyway, quick question - which book of stories is your favorite? After seeing your list of fave books from last year, I believe that your tastes align with mine. Thanks for your insight/help.

Love this challenge for yourself to systematically dig into an author and his works. I've been slowly working/re-working my way through Wendell Berry's fiction over the last 2-3 years. But to get through all his non-fiction... that would take a long-game mindset!
Dostoyevski and Flannery are others that would make for a good systematic challenge. I scratched the surface of their writing in the last year or so, but Jessica Hooten Wilson's work researching and dissecting them has me inspired.
