Are You Happy? by Lori Ostlund
Stories
A collection of nine short stories set in Minnesota, New Mexico, and California that follows people who have left their places of origin and wrestle with desire, identity, family obligations, and the pressure to make others happy. The stories are character-focused and spare in tone, exploring intimate forms of loss and violence as individuals try—and sometimes fail—to reconcile their pasts with their present lives.
