| 1 | Some of Tim’s Stories | 2007 | S.E. Hinton | Buy |
Some of Tim’s Stories (2007) is S.E. Hinton’s only short story collection. The linked stories follow Tim, a quiet man living in Oklahoma, as he deals with his troubled cousin and other figures from his past.
The collection was published by the University of Oklahoma Press and written for an adult audience, marking a shift from the YA fiction that made Hinton famous. The stories are connected by Tim’s perspective and his relationships with the people around him. Compared to The Outsiders or Rumble Fish, the tone here is more subdued and reflective. Readers should not expect the same intensity as Hinton’s teen novels, but the Oklahoma setting and working-class characters feel consistent with her earlier work.
