This is a Summit book--it came to me from Tesc Library at Evergreen State College up around Olympia. Short stories. In much the same way that I love tiny cookies and individualized desserts, I love short stories. So perfect. I'm impressed with these. I am on page 160 of 219--three stories to go. I notice that this book, which is due on June 22nd, is dedicated to Geoffrey Wolff. I am more familiar with the work of his brother Tobias--oh how I admire his work. And also his reading-aloud skills. His is one of my favorite episodes of The New Yorker Fiction Podcast with New Yorker fiction editor Debra Triesman.
I can't remember why I ordered this book. just searching around in the database, I guess. Perhaps I have recetly heard her name mentioned amongst the Portland writers I try to keep up with. Will try to keep up with. I am determined to submit something somewhere before the end of may. Why else did I disrupt everything--everything--about my former life, if not to write? And, by extension, fuckin' present it to a readership.
Like I'm just about to do with this teensy-weensy post.
Well I should have titled this ONE BOOK on my desk. Stay tuned...
