thirty-nine theses (21)

A strong opinion in the form of a strong recommendation:

21. Do yourself a favor (on this frigid winter day) and re-read these five short stories:

    1. "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver.

    2. "The Nose" by Nikolai Gogol. http://h42day.100megsfree5.com/texts/russia/gogol/nose.html

    3. "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" by Flannery O'Connor.

    4. "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been" by Joyce Carol Oates. http://jco.usfca.edu/works/wgoing/text.html

    5. "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=the+handsomest+drowned+man+int+he+world+full+text
