story: “Blue”
author: David Brooks
year: 1985
where: kitchen, Big Gate napping
note: Brooks is a poet turned prose writer, though in 1989, he wrote about the breakdown of genre. This is one of his first short stories. Something about this story also reminds me of the night Obama won the election.
a line: “How so many could have interpreted such diverse things in so similar a way I cannot tell.”
theme(s): Rain, community, drought, miracle
