I just read this quote: “Apart from Chekhov, it’s hard to think of any single writer who contributed more to the sophistication of the short-story form in the twentieth century” than Katherine Mansfield. I like Mansfield’s work, but, with all due respect to the author of that quote… Alice Munro? Mavis Gallant? Grace Paley? Flannery O’Connor? William Faulkner? John Cheever? #Books #Bookstodon
@michaelmagras who said that? A very limited reader.
@jollyca I won't embarrass the author by revealing the name, but I was surprised by that quote.
