alexandriaslibrary 's review for:

Nightwork by Christine Schutt
4.25
dark reflective relaxing medium-paced
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A solid story collection from the 90s! These stories feel alive, built out, and realized. Schutt isn't following the modern MFA style, instead these stories pan in and out and around the world of women living difficult lives. 

These stories are not necessarily linear or easy. They are mostly 5-10 pages, and I found myself rereading immediately after finishing. Great if you like the gritty, experimental fiction of the 90s.
