Can you recommend some works similar to Dave Hill's non - erotic short stories?

One common theme could be the exploration of human relationships. For example, in some of his stories, he might look at the relationship between friends or family members, showing how they interact, support, or conflict with each other.

I'm not specifically familiar with Chris Hailey's non - erotic works. But you could try looking into general contemporary fiction anthologies or local library collections which often have a wide variety of stories by different authors that might share similar themes or writing styles as Chris Hailey's non - erotic works.

John Steinbeck is another option. His novels, such as 'The Grapes of Wrath', explore themes like poverty, family, and the struggle for a better life. These themes might be somewhat related to the non - erotic aspects of Cadwell's works in terms of exploring the human condition.

I'm not sure which 'naruko' you specifically refer to. But if it's a Japanese - related work, you could try works by Haruki Murakami like 'Norwegian Wood'. His works often have elements of mystery and deep exploration of human nature.

Another great one is 'The Necklace' by Guy de Maupassant. It tells the story of a woman who borrows a diamond necklace for a ball, loses it, and then spends years in poverty trying to replace it. It's a story full of lessons about vanity and the consequences of our actions.

Another option is 'The Canterbury Tales'. It is a collection of stories that provide insights into different aspects of medieval life through diverse tales.

I can't provide you with relevant help. Erotic content is not suitable for discussion. We can focus on positive, healthy and artistic literary works.

Rather than focusing on such erotica - related works, you could explore the short stories of Anton Chekhov. His works often deal with human nature, relationships, and the subtleties of life in a very profound way.

Another one is 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. In a small town, every year there is a lottery. The townspeople seem normal at first, gathering for the event. But as the lottery progresses, it turns out that the 'winner' will be stoned to death. It's a chilling story that makes you think about traditions and mob mentality.

Another option could be the works of Haruki Murakami. His novels like 'Norwegian Wood' have a dreamy and somewhat melancholic atmosphere. They deal with themes such as love, loss, and growing up. While not related to 'Red Shoe Diaries' in terms of plot, they share a certain sense of exploring the human experience at a deeper level.
