Read these stories carefully. They're large. Read them one, two, three times. There's more here than meets the eye. Some of the stories are jokes, some confessions, some mysteries. There are rewrites of stories written earlier, too. My favorite stories are those where there's something left out, where you can't see the whole tapestry, just a single thread. Pull on the thread and see what is revealed. You'll be surprised.
