Afternoon Reading - If I Loved You, I Would Tell You This - The Guide

'If I Loved You, I Would Tell You This' is the debut collection by US author Robin Black, a stunning new voice in US fiction, whose work has drawn comparisons with that of Lorrie Moore and Alice Munroe. A father wrestles with his spirited blind daughter's unexpected independence, and with his own role as her father, as he helps her to prepare for life away at college. Robin Black's stories and essays have appeared in numerous US magazines and newspapers, where she has also won several awards, but this is her first published collection. She is currently teaching creative writing at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania, and lives with her family in Philadelphia. Reader: William Hope Abridger: Richard Hamilton Producer: Justine Willett.
