Show Don't Tell

*Show Don’t Tell* by Curtis Sittenfeld is a sparkling short story collection for readers who like their contemporary fiction sharp-eyed, funny, and quietly fearless. Across twelve stories, Sittenfeld turns her attention to marriage, fame, female friendship and the private negotiations that sit beneath everyday life.

These characters feel instantly familiar: a divorced woman stepping back into old friendships, a married artist testing the boundaries of intimacy and assumption, and — for longtime fans — a return to the world of *Prep* through an older Lee Fiora at a school reunion. Each piece captures a different corner of modern relationships, with humour that never flattens the tenderness underneath.

Perfect for fans of literary short stories, women’s fiction, and character-driven writing that lingers after the last page.

Add *Show Don’t Tell* to your shelf for a smart, satisfying read you can dip into anytime.
