Some stories crackle under each sentence, the story emerging not so much in some linear ascension but in some exponential expansion until the whole of it overwhelms. That’s Ethel Rohan’s How to Kill currently over at the Hobart website.
Just take this line: “He pushed away his breakfast plate, the leftovers looking violated.”
Amazing. Read it.

Thanks, Alan, your kind words mean a lot. Ever since I read "What our Fathers Knew" at BULL, I'm a big fan of your work. Truly.
ReplyDeleteThanks in return. I always like posting about stories that strike me in the ribs and gut simultaneously. Such a great story.
