What is a writer, but a reader first and foremost. The purpose of this blog is to explore the themes and techniques of short stories that intrigue and delight me, with the hope that they may inspire and inform my own stories. A few writers that rarely let me down in this fine form: Lorrie Moore, Flannery O’Conner, Charles Baxter, Mary Gaitskill, George Saunders, Aimee Bender and Rick Bass.
