LA CONCHITA by T. Coraghessan Boyle

  I was amazed at the excellent making of the story. The truck driver delivering a liver for transplant is caught in a mudslide, where he is asked by a woman to dig her husband and child.   The writer successfully presented the reader an extraordinary but possible incident where a man must chose one out of two crucial situations.The reader natually worries about the liver while he is digging the mudslide sacrifices. The writer knows well what the reader thinks and feels while he or she is reading his book. The reader wants to know the outcome of an incident, the outcome of an affair. The writer should play cat and mouse with the reader.   The power of imagination is twofold in writing an arresting story. One is the power to imagine how the reader responds to the development of the story, the other is the power to imagine detailed situation of an incident and put it into words.   The writer is successful in both points.
