Read Suckow's Short Stories and Novels at the Iowa Digital Heritage website
RSMA President Barbara Lounsberry worked hard to get Ruth Suckow's stories on the Iowa Digital Heritage website. The first set of stories is about Iowa women's lives. There are now nineteen short stories plus her novelette, "A Part of the Institution," in all, thanks to the hard work of one of our members, Roy Kenagy. Thanks, Roy!
Follow the link below to go to the website.
Then click on "People and Biographies."
The Ruth Suckow Short Story Collection is on page 7--if you want to take a look or to direct others to these stories. Once you see the story, scroll down, and you can read the description and other information. If you then click on the red box, by the page at the top, the story will come up, and there is a "pop-up" button in the right-hand corner. If you click on that, it makes the story even bigger and easier to read and to print out.
Listen to "A Start in Life," narrated by Jim Schaap of Dordt College.
