This month we will be reading The Complexities of Intimacy by Mary Caponegro. It’s a book of 4 short stories and a novella. I will be posting on each story. Let’s try to do the first three short stories in the next ten days. The 120-page novella we can examine in the second half of this month. A wonderful resource is her Bookworm interview about this book.

I definitely want to participate this time.
Complexities of Intimacy is Coffee House, right? Do you think they’ll be at AWP? Would love to pick up a copy while I’m there.
Yes. I don’t know, but amazon is a last resort.
For sure, I just want to get it on the quicker side. I usually do Powell’s, but I feel like I usually get their stuff on the 10 side of 7-10 business days, and I want to be able to get the first part read by the middle of the month.
Looking forward to this one. Greg, if you still want some sort of discussion-wrangler, I’m willing to give it a try.
John, why don’t we be co-wranglers? Both posting.
Oh, & I neglected to click the button re: follow-ups. Done.
Amico Greg, that’ll work for me. I’ll do what I can, here.
Caponegro’s one of my favorite authors, and I’m very excited to have another reason to return to her work. I reread “The Daughter’s Lamentation” on the subway tonight as I made my way to Bradford Morrow’s reading at the Strand, and I was, once again, stunned by her stunning command, reminding me that stories can do so much more than telling about how this followed that.
