#795 Radiation- David Leavitt
This story opens up referencing a TV soap opera. After that the whole thing read like that to me, a soap opera. I’m not entirely sure that was supposed to be the effect, but for me it was. Two children accompany their mother to a cancer radiation treatment. It’s their first time there and they watch and talk and get distracted and talk some more. I can’t tell exactly how old the children are, which is the second problem I have with this story. From one sentence to the next, they seem or act like drastically different ages. That caused a major disconnect for me.
