In January I read Who Will Run the Frog Hospital, a short novel by Lorrie Moore. It is so good! I think her prose is intense and just crackles. It's very dynamic and sharp writing. Very well-observed. It's about two friends in high school in the 70s and the course their lives take. The narrator's personality emerges later in the book in a sad, uncomfortable, unpleasant way that kind of illuminates the whole thing.
