Light Can Be Both Wave and Particle

I normally am not a big fan of the art of short stories, but this little book of Ellen Gilchrist's makes me eat my words. Perhaps it was the interrelated aspect of many of the stories that settled my brain. Normally, it's the abrupt hop from one scenario to another that jars me. This formed a fragmented storyline of a short, introducing me to full fleshed characters and delicious prose. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite, as the flow has gone to almost seamless in my mind, despite a foray of the stories to Mexico. Some of the early stories beautifully called to mind the United States in the middle section of the last century. That's my stomping ground, too, so I was right at home.
