Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story
"Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story" is one of my favorite short stories. Told in a unique fashion, it begins in first person then quickly switches to third as a defense mechanism, it's a love story as heartfelt and heartbreaking as any ever told.
Here is a link to the story, which I found online and here is a link to Russell Banks reading an abridged version on the NPR show, This American Life.
Enjoy!

"Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story," is a fascinating and spectacular discourse on memory, guilt, confession, and introspection. My first contact with the story was hearing Russell Banks read it on an NPR program. A delicious experience.
I then had to obtain the story and read it myself. I think about it frequently. I highly recommend this story and also urge readers to hear Russell Bank's spoken version.
