"So Late in the Day": Escaping Fate

On Claire Keegan's story about the greed that defines misogyny and the generosity that can overcome it.

I’m going to do something a little unusual here: I’m going to issue a “spoiler warning”. Given that the book under review here is actually a short story, I want to get into real detail, which will mean revealing more of the plot than I otherwise would. The full text can be read in about half an hour, so there’s no reason not to read it before reading this piece.

So Late in the Day is out now as a beautiful little hardback, or you can read the original New Yorker version here:
