        Rip's Impressions

        Another of New Yorker fame, more known as a short story writer than a novelist. His Short Story Collection won a Pulitzer. I grew up in the 'suburban angst' he describes in his settings, most of which take place in New York and New England. A few from his short story collection are set in Italy.
