My Wife's Story by Richard Babcock
I doubt that I’ve ever read anything so simultaneously funny and sad. On the surface, this story is funny in the moment while your brain is telling you that it will only end sadly. Deeper, though, you know the narrator is not good. He’s selfish and lacking compassion. His life is of privilege and he resents losing the power of it. And all the while, he does not consider his wife. He tells you up front that he loses her, and as you read you know exactly why. Such a sociologically brilliant work.
A+
