We're All In This Together

I'm almost finished reading Owen King's We're All in This Together, a collection of short stories. The first one isn't really short, clocking in at more than 130 pages.

They're beautifully written with some really lovely prose but not what you'd call happy stories. The first one, the title story, is especially good, catching the angst of a teenage boy with a difficult family perfectly. The story is deeply political but also a story about trust and betrayal. It's excellent.
