I love this post, Annie, though I was a little late getting to it. Collected Stories has always been meaningful to me. So I appreciate the reminder of its power and its message. I saw Linda Lavin perform in it at the Geffen (with Samantha Mathis) back in 1999. In light of her death on December 29th, I think I might dust off my copy and read it again. Again, thank you for the reminder.

Who does a story belong to? The experiencer or the teller? Both? Neither? Whomever tells it first?

THIS. I am sludging my way through so many memories...and these questions are often in the forefront of my mind. Thank you for this lovely offering.
