Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman is a collection if short stories and a good way in.
I also like his non fiction: Novelist as Vocation and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running are both great.

Dollar Days and I Can't Give Everything Away are almost unbearably poignant.
I always seem to have something in my eye when listening to them ...

Isn't it because they couldn't agree on the track listing so went alphabetical?
Works well though

You're a hard taskmaster, Rich.
On first look it's tough on Nina and tough on Coltrane too...

I only have 22 of these and, if my maths is right, there are 3,160,080 ways that I could rank them into a top 5 ...

I read this and thought it very good! Thank you.

Weirdly, perhaps, that part made me think of Katherine Sonderegger's recognisable "voice" and prose style.
Hope you enjoy it.

I enjoyed it. I'm still thinking about it & it will probably continue to drip-feed into my thoughts for a while. I found interesting her comments on how feminist theologians have had to create alternative ways of communicating such as memoir, fiction, etc.
