Upcoming events: I will be reading at the Babble-On Reading series on Thursday June 25th, 8pm at Dog Eared Books at 900 Valencia @ 20th Street, along with Vauhini Vara and Rose Tully.







Below are some blog posts where I link to classics of the short story genre, stories that happen to be available on-line, and invite you to read or reread the story and then post your comments. Ideally this might evolve into an on-line anthology with instructive commentary. For now I'm including these links on my home page, in the hope of keeping the comments going a bit longer than usually occurs with a literary blog post:











Franz Kafka, “A Hunger Artist”


Edgar Allan Poe, “The Cask of Amontillado”
