I think The Breeze from this collection may be one of my favorite short stories ever. It captures something about relationships, how we make choices everyday to navigate over the rough spots (or not) and how things can always be otherwise (or not). The rest of the stories are just as solid (The Dinner Party being another of my favorites), but The Breeze really resonated with me.

I’m really not a short story person & I have no idea why I put this on my list. Writing is great, I just find short stories unsatisfying!
What was wrong with me? Here's what I feared would happen one day. After a lifetime spent in a hurry, I'd wake up and realize that there was never any destination, life was all tour, and in a paradox beyond comprehension, some more real destination would be revealed, one I could never have dreamed of, and at last I'd see that I had come in dead last. 209
Excellent collection of well written short stories, most depressing.
