Piece Regarding Books Red Car: Stories

Sallie Bingham is a writer, teacher, feminist activist, and philanthropist.SallieBingham 900x1160 BiographySallies first novel was published by Houghton Mifflin in 1961. It was followed by four collections of short stories; her most recent, from Sarabande Books in 2011, is titled Mending: New and Selected Stories.

Some of these are really good stories--some of them fall flat (especially the title story, which is trying way too hard to be one of those 'non-traditionally structured' stories. Overall, if I could throw out 3 or 4 stories I think this is an excellent collection.

There were some good, beautiful even, sentences. But the book read like a draft, in my opinion. I feel like, having seen the beauty of which this author is clearly capable, that editing some stories and elaborating on others, would have made me love this more.

I really am tired of short stories. The collections are always dark and depressing. Novels usually have something uplifting about them but the collections rarely seem to because the stories, in theory, were written to stand alone. And they're always full of depressing people doing terrible things. At least this one was short.
