We explore the medium of short stories through the prism of two new collections by two UK writers. Tessa Hadley’s new book, “After the Funeral”, is characteristically full of sharp observations about personal and familial relationships. Meanwhile, Lawrence Osborne’s “Burning Angel and Other Stories” is the first collection of short stories from the novelist, in which characters find themselves up against forces they can’t control.
