“There's a very powerful Somerset Mom short story called The Alien Corn, which is about a young man who desperately wants to be a great pianist, a great musician, and finds out whether he is or not. And it's a pretty good story. I recommend it.”
Why: It is a pretty good story that illustrates the theme well.
