Divorcer by Gary Lutz
I spent four years in a college fiction program being told that Gary Lutz is a “writer’s writer.”  At least four of my teachers had me read from his Stories in the Worst Way. I don’t disagree.  I bought this at a reading of his in Crown Heights.  But it wasn’t fabulous.  It sounds better coming out of his mouth then it does on the page (pages don’t makes sounds.  Whatevs!)
