As is the case with many authors, I like their novels way better than their short stories. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all in for Yates’ particular style and glimpses of Americana, I just prefer it in bigger doses.

Logging this separately from the two individually published collections (Eleven Kinds of Loneliness and Liars in Love) that are included in here, because I need those uncollected stories represented!
Really liked this collection overall, but the uncollected stories really did stand out by themselves and it's a shame almost all of them were never published in their own right. I can't wait to continue my journey through Yates's bibliography because the man could really really write.
