Please throw in Lance Olsen, Lydia Yuknavitch, Michael Martone, and anyone from FC2. "The Babysitter" by Robert Coover. LOVE, Love, love: "Pale Horse, Pale Rider" by Katherine Anne Porter--what she was doing during her time was unusual in terms of voice and approach to story. Funny how much attention "So Much Water, So Close to Home" gets now, but I'll go to bed with Raymond Carver any day of the week. Anything by Lydia Davis for the experimental one.
