Typical by Padgett Powell
This was a collection of very short, very odd stories that is rather difficult to review so this will be very succinct. The stories brought to my mind those of Flannery O’Connor.
Titles ranged from Letter from a Dogfighter’s Aunt, Deceased to The Winnowing of Mrs. Schuping to, of course, Typical.
Quotes:
I wrote that incidents fall from your mind as drops of daily water from the duckback of time.
Typical introduces an out of work racist who is angry at the world, but more so at himself. While he is aware of and accepts his situation, he knows deep down that it is only his lack of ambition that prevents his life from improving.
Were I to meet Mr. Powell I would propose we each read aloud some short stories by the authors of our choosing.
My rating for Typical is an 6 out of 10.
