A Year in Reading: Chris Stuck

So, lately, I’ve been second-guessing myself. It’s what I do. I’m starting to wonder what kind of writer I am. A short story writer? A novelist? A writer who can do both? I mean, I like novels, I think. They can be fun. I’ve written a few over my writing life. Two were meh but reached their endings. One, I think, is pretty good and is on submission with editors now. The reason I’m saying this is because I just realized I haven’t read one novel over the last year or two. Maybe it’s Amistad/HarperCollins) so I’ve been in story collection mode for the last year and a half anyway, editing my collection, studying other collections, trying to live up to my favorites.
