Yes, they are. For a literature class, I taught a very short story, which is expertly written, about an infant who is scalded. It’s a fantastic piece, but something I’d totally expect some people to opt out of given the content.

    I think I remember that from my creative writing class! Wasn't it by O'Connor or someone?
