32. Touchy Subjects by Emma Donoghue


Great collection of short stories about subjects that are taboo or difficult to talk about.  My favorite stories in the collection were Pluck, Oops, and Team Men.  Donoghue is a good author and delves into the inner conflicts of her characters well.  Each story was engaging and kept me interested.  Pluck deals with how we fight with or conscious constantly when trying to avoid an uncomfortable conversation.  When nine times out of ten it not that big a deal.  Oops is a funny tale about perceived guilt taken to an extreme level.  Team Men is about self-discovery and inner conflict.
