Together We Can Bury It by Kathy Fish

kathrynth's review against another edition

5.0

These pieces resonated with me, left me feeling more than a page or two or three should be able to. The language is both simple and rich, but at all times deeply compelling, and the individual pieces introduced me to characters I could relate to even when they were, in many ways, nothing like me.

A sweepingly excellent collection of 40 stories, a sort of retrospecticus of Kathy Fish's writing career so far. Everything about this book is well-done. Packaging, book design, even the ordering of the stories, perfectly executed. The stories themselves: amazing. There's no filler: every story is aching and gorgeous. I was folding down corners to keep track of the stories I particularly liked, but then most of the pages ended up folded. But for my edification and later recollection, my favorites were:

"Snow"

"The Hollow"

"Tenderoni"

"Rodney and Chelsea"

"Maidenhead to Oxford"

"Orlando"

"Moth Woman"

"Baby, Baby"

"Cancer Arm" - a story about cancer and families and Thanksgiving, and easily one of my top 10 favorite short stories of all time.
