The Yellow Wallpaper by CPG is a short story, in case you didn't realize. You really should add Lonesome Dove and probably move it to the top of your queue because it's the greatest novel ever and that is a fact lol.

I love classic short stories. I tutor community college and love talking about them with students that come in, although they don't do much literary analysis in their classes. Worked on a paper for The Yellow Wallpaper today, in fact!

Same. Short stories are one of my favorite mediums of lit. A community college professor got me into them actually, by recommending and reading a Raymond Carver story out loud in class.

Have you read Madeline Miller's little short story called Galatea? It's 20 pages and vaguely reminds me of The Yellow Wallpaper. It's a retelling of the Greek myth of Pygmalion.

I haven't read that! Is it available anywhere online? A lot of short stories are.

I have read Circe, though!

I couldn't find a pdf anywhere unfortunately. And Kindle wants $10.99 for it. A 20 page story. That's insane. But check your DM here and I may be able to help you :)
