This month, Andrew recommends Victoria Patterson’s debut collection of linked stories, Drift, as his big-house pick. Read more about it here; you can read one of the collection’s stories, “The First and Second Time,” on the Freight Stories website.
For August, Andrew also introduces a new feature, ABC Rewind, which he describes as “spotlight[ing] story collections that may have been slightly overlooked when they were originally published, as well as story collections that are reissued after falling out of print.” The first ABC Rewind pick is Don’t Make Me Stop Now by Michael Parker, the author of several novels, most recently the award-winning If You Want Me to Stay. Read more about Don’t Make Me Stop Now here at ABC.
