Meg Wolitzer on her selection:
I chose this story because it\\u2019s such an intuitive and ruefully funny close-up of a marriage. My mother, Hilma Wolitzer, looks at the often desperate ways that partners keep each other going; this can be a lifelong work. The characters\\u2019 dream of moving from the congested city to the seemingly peaceful suburbs remains alive yet unrealized, a shared fantasy that almost drives them apart. I love \\u201cSundays\\u201d for how slyly subversive and honest it is.
