Abstract
Idaho’s own Anthony Doerr is widely recognized for being a distinctive author of literary fiction. His newest book, a collection of short stories entitled Memory Wall, exceeds expectations by carrying the reader into terrifically imagined stories. Each short story showcases a powerfully vivid yet cerebral plot, evocative of experiences common in this modern era. The stories address issues of our contemporary global society such as aging, memory, complex family structures, and infertility. Doerr draws conclusions in each story that are uncanny and unpredictable, leaving the reader to progress through each as quickly as possible to find out what will happen.
