#762 Night School- Raymond Carver
A tipsy man sits at a bar by himself, separated from his wife and living back with his parents. You can imagine the mood around such a man at a neighborhood bar. Two woman, out for a bit of fun try to rope him into their evening, hoping he has a car. He doesn’t. As they try and hatch a plan to go bother a professor of theirs from night school they get a bit drunker and head out into the night.
Nobody in this story gets what they want, nor do they listen to anybody else’s words. It is a lonely sad world, not even a few drinks can make it better. Maybe reading a few stories is the only things that can get you to bed at night.
