My personal notes: 1) The "aspect of fiction" I decided on was lonelin" rel="nofollow">iness and alienation. You can do whatever you want with that. 2) I have five stories picked out already - "Hands" by Sherwood Anderson, "The Overcoat" by Nikolai Gogol, "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri, "Miss Brill" by Katherin" rel="nofollow">ine Mansfield, and "Kew Gardens" by Virgin" rel="nofollow">inia Woolf. 3) If you can fin" rel="nofollow">ind one or two that also fit the theme, you can in" rel="nofollow">include them; also, if you thin" rel="nofollow">ink one story would fit better than another that I mentioned already, you can replace my pick with your pick
