New discovery

Kit Reed totally needs to be more well-known than she is. I just started a collection of her short stories today. She calls them “womanist” fiction, as opposed to “feminist” fiction. And they’re fascinating stories. I’ll probably be through these stories in the next couple of days or so. What’s fascinating is that this collection of stories– Weird Women, Wired Women –spans a period of nearly forty years of Reed’s writing. All of her stories feature women that are very indicative of the times they live in. It’s a great social commentary as well as a damned fascinating read.
