This week we’re talking about linked short story collections. What are linked short stories, though?
These are stories that are collected and somehow linked to each other. That link can be very explicit or very subtle. They can be linked by one character who threads her/his way throughout every one or who is only mentioned marginally. They can be linked by several characters. They can be linked by the setting–if they are set in a certain town or state or country.
But they can also be linked by theme or symbol or a common experience of characters. They could all be about a shared experience, like parenthood or death or
love. Or a combination of these things.
