I can appreciate the writing more in Northeast Regional than I could in The Girls. Less flowery, more direct and cutting. It reads like a New Yorker short story, so I suppose it does the job.

A strong little character study with Cline's characteristically dense and beautiful prose. This would probably get 5 stars if not for my lingering hatred for 'The Girls'.

The highpoint is how the author talks and explians the character thought process. But aside from that I didn´t get involved in the rest of the story

Emma Cline has the most deep seated knowledge of human psychology and behaviour. I could see it in her book '[b:The Girls|26893819|The Girls|Emma Cline|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492065338s/26893819.jpg|42856015]' and I see it in this short story for The New Yorker.
The story is of a man who while on a weekend dalliance with a married woman, gets a call about an incident that his son is involved in his boarding school. The story is a direct insight into his thoughts and surroundings.
It's just the right amount of 'Fucked Up'. Read away!
