…abortion in fiction, read this David Foster Wallace story, "Good People" in the most recent issue of the New Yorker. Stream-of-consciousness, such is the case with Wallace, but don’t let it dissuade you, if you would be dissuaded by such a thing. It’s a powerful story. Almost…well, you read it.

(I don’t think these stories stay up on the NY website forever. It was posted 1/29, so it will probably only be availabe for a few more days.)

Thanks to reader Sara for the tip.
