Sittenfield writes short stories that cut right through to the most embarrassing aspect of a character, without making a scene feel contrived. All around us, all the time we witness people's actions that make us pause, but it can be hard to pinpoint what exactly it we get hung up on. These short stories cut away the fog and help us to understand what we were feeling. It does not pull punches, so pick up 'You Think It, I'll Say It' only if you are ready for unrelenting social criticism.
