A random mention in an essay about the short story that inspired the movie "A New Leaf" led me to this essay about the author Jack Ritchie. Years ago, Bill and I discovered we'd read the same short story collection when we were teenagers, including "For All the Rude People." Alas, not even Amazon has a used copy. I'm sure I'd love to read it again.

You're welcome.

I've spent a couple of fruitless hours this morning attempting to track down two short stories I'd like to reread. I saw this post & hoped for better results.
If you read online, "All the Rude People" is here:

The book Little Boxes of Bewilderment is here:

but you will need a free account.
Hope this helps!
