You Won't Remember This 3 Title: You Won’t Remember This
Author: Kate Blackwell
Publisher: Bacon Press Books
Pages: 232
Genre: Short Stories/Southern Fiction
Format: Kindle

The twelve stories in Kate Blackwell’s debut collection illuminate the lives of men and women who appear as unremarkable as your next-door-neighbor until their lives explode quietly on the page. Her wry, often darkly funny voice describes the repressed underside of a range of middle-class characters living in the South. Blackwell’s focus is elemental—on marriage, birth, death, and the entanglements of love at all ages—but her gift is to shine a light on these universal situations with such lucidity, it is as if one has never seen them before.

Praise from PUYB Reviewers:

“I enjoy women’s fiction and I seem to be on a southern fiction reading kick right now. This collection is all that and so much more. Kate is a wonderful writer and each story was such a treat to read.”

— The Book Bag

“I would recommend this collection of Ms. Blackwell’s stories to anyone who loves southern storytelling, elegance and entertainment along with so much more.  This is one of those books that you want to keep on your shelf to read and re-read.  To enjoy over and over.”

— Books, Reviews, ETC.

“These are stories to let yourself be drawn into, experience the flavor and atmosphere.
Full of secrets, many about relationships, and how they may not be the same to both people involved in them.From fresh to new love to well worn relationsips, and relationships being reconfigured.”

— Laura’s Interests

“Each one of the stories are uniquely different and can hold your attention separately as a stand alone. The author seems to be able to ebb and flow with each story fairly well. I should note that some of the stories uses bad language. But overall some very interesting works of fiction.”

— A Simple Life, Really?!
