“Just Like the Ones We Used to Know”
Connie Willis
This week … our third and last discussion of Connie Willis’s holiday stories, “Just Like the Ones We Used to Know.” It’s the title story (in Willis pop-culture wink-winking) of her collection A Lot Like Christmas. As Dr. C travels for the holidays during our own winter weather, Leigh and P. T. quote from and discuss the story, an ensemble of reactions to a mysterious winter storm. It even snows in Savannah — imagine that. (Also woven in … a Hanukkah poem by Philip M. Raskin and “Behaving Like a Jew” by Gerald Stern.)
