We Show What We Have Learned & Other Stories by Clare Beams

3.0

I was hoping these short stories would feel similar to Kelly Link's - they're fairly long, about 20 pages or so, with plots that are slightly odd, and written in a strong, measured, clear voice. While they did hit all these notes, the stories simply weren't interesting to me. I didn't read them all, but the ones I did read seemed like they could have been first chapters of a novel. Maybe this author's strengths would be a better fit for long fiction.
