By Shirley JacksonOriginally written in 1948, The Lottery is a perfect example of post WWII paranoia. No one trusts anyone, nor should they, as a town is gathered for their annual lottery.
The title story is terrific. The more I read of the rest of the stories, the more bored and/or disgusted I became. I stopped reading about halfway through, so who knows what else I missed, but I was tired of wasting my time.
