One of the hazards of blogs for readers is that we stop reading full stories of any kind. So today I’m sharing just two Friday Faves; both are short stories.
The first, called “Dos Palabras,” by Isabel Allende, is a delightful Latin American literary piece about the transformational power of words. I had to read it for Spanish class this week, but I leaned heavily in the English translation. I’m including links to both versions, because I’m pretty sure the Spanish version is better:-).
Dos Palabras
The second story is a Raymond Carver classic, a redemption story about tragedy, hatred, reconciliation and love. (A caution – some strong language used for literary purposes.)
A Small Good Thing
Why not take twenty to thirty minutes to read some good literature today? If you do, please post comments on what you thought of the story or stories. The only thing better than reading is sharing our responses to it. To share comments on the Living Story Facebook page, click
