Pretty enjoyable “survival of the fittest” disaster book. A group of people quarantined inside a mall after a bomb is found, civilization breaks down, etc. It was a quick, easy read, and I’m looking forward to reading the other two in the series.

We don’t want to write what’s already been written. I stand here thinking about “I Stand Here Ironing” and I don’t want to write a story about a woman ironing. I don’t want to steal it or imitate it. But I am excited to see what the story is doing, and to recognize the legitimacy of its — and my, and any — territory. I read to think, to feel, to absorb, and to see what is possible — to be reminded that anything is possible. I look for permission, but really what I want, and need, and get, is the permission to forego permission. Who could have given Tillie Olsen permission to write a twelve-page ironing monologue? Again and again, I am reading to be reminded that what each story needs to be is itself.
I Stand Here Ironing, Too

Yes, I remember her. I always lie when I always say I didn’t know the gun was loaded.
Anger, April Bernard
