When you crack open a book by Curtis Sittenfeld, you can be fairly sure what you're getting—a fact the author herself is the first to admit. "I have certain preoccupations, as every writer does," she says. "I think that stories reflect, for better or worse a particular mind—that’s my mind—and if you wanna read about a different topic, go to someone else’s book."
Her chosen topics are in full display her new collection of short stories, You Think It, I'll Say It, out this week from Penguin Random House. But Sittenfeld embraces those aforementioned preoccupations—class and gender and the contrast between the public and private selves—in a way that will still surprise those readers familiar with her canon: with sharp insight, and through the lens of America in 2018.Share
