Better Books #5: Some Trick, stories by Helen DeWitt, New Dirctions Publishing, 2018.

Gutsy author, long story short. If you want to read stories by an author who is not afraid to take chances, this is for you. The 2018 copyright could be 2055, if she can maintain this style. Best read clear headed with morning coffee and nothing perched on your shoulder. Authors especially will want to study her innovative use of dialog, focus, and how she entices the reader by challenging your assumptions and expectations about story arc and form.
