Curtis Sittenfeld’s short story collections bring together her work in shorter fiction. You Think It, I’ll Say It (2017), her first collection, includes ten stories that examine everyday moments where characters confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and others.
Help Yourself (2020) and Show Don’t Tell (2025) continue in this vein. Sittenfeld has a skill for capturing the ways people misjudge situations or reveal themselves through small choices. Her collections have received attention for their sharp social observation and deadpan humor.
