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!)
