Some ideas include Elizabeth Bowen’s “Coming Home,” Ron Carlson’s “Blood and Its Relationship to Water,” Anton Chekhov’s “A Father,” Edwidge Danticat’s “Ghosts,” Ernest J. Gaines’s “The Sky Is Gray,” Lorrie Moore’s “People Like That Are the Only People Here,” Alice Munro’s “Fathers” or “My Mother’s Dream,” Colm Tóibín’s “One Minus One,” and David Foster Wallace’s “All That.” You should be able to find most of these stories in collections available through your college’s library.
