Title attractions

Lately Skillman’s Irene Noodleman has been reading rather than watching movies and has found herself drawn to some new collections of short stories with titles that speak to her. Chief among them: Both ways is the only way I want it by Maile Meloy.

A few other new short story collections with intriguing titles (and stellar reviews):
Do not deny me by Jean Thompson
Mrs. Somebody Somebody by Tracy Winn
We never talk about my brother by Peter S. Beagle

Irene feels like she could almost write her life story with these titles plus that of the forthcoming new collection from Alice Munro: Too much happiness.
