Worth Reading
Fight No More by Lydia Millet
This is a collection of interconnected short stories by a very good writer. The stories are told through the perspective of Nina, a high-end real estate broker. Each chapter is located in a different house and opens up a different micro-culture of America – or at least LA. It’s social satire, and it is smart and funny. My one objection: It has the Hollywood angle to it, where all the teenagers are precocious brats, all the men are monsters, and all the women are heroic.
