Amen. The Lottery is probably among the top three most widely read American short stories, right? I feel like everyone read that story in middle school. But I don't think enough people read her books.
Patricia Highsmith is great also. I read Slowly, Slowly, in the Wind when we were moving to Richmond. I'd like to read all her books. Maybe this will be The Summer of Murder.

I feel ROBBED that I didn't know about Jackson sooner.
