Pale Horse, Pale Rider: The Short Stories by Katherine Anne Porter

4.0

"Don't you love being alive?" asked Miranda. "Don't you love weather and the colors at different times of the day, and all the sounds and noises like children screaming in the next lot, and the automobile horns and little bands playing in the street and the sound of food cooking?"

It's always good when I enjoy reading something I'm studying. What a great short story. I refer only to the title piece "Pale Horse, Pale Rider" in this review, although I'm keen to try some of Katherine Anne Porter's other short stories having enjoyed this one.

Dreams, illness, a backdrop of war and the pain of love with the fear of time running out... A solid and enjoyable 4 stars.
