A Saint and A Criminal- http://www.npr.org/2011/04/03/133542373/a-saint-and-a-criminal

Although the meaning and happenings of the story were painful experiences, the author's portrayal held so much voice that I found it impossible not to be moved. The narrator describes her brother as someone who is clearly disturbed, possibly foreshadowing the accident and the man she sees and fears for while he's locked away in a cell. I also thought it was a good interpretation of what telling the joke could look like, not something that would evoke laughter like one might assume.
