A Lovely List of Ladies (and one Gentleman)

You can read another lovely story from Kathy Fish, "Skinny Lullaby at the Lizard Lounge: Schenectedy" at Necessary Fiction today. Be gone with you, over there now.

I'm also reading The Complete Stories of John Cheever. I like that they're in chronological order, so that I will be able to track the evolution of his art. Unlike Joyce Carol Oates' High Lonesome, which kind of goes every which way.

I forgot to mention the tribute to Lucille Clifton tonight at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Central Branch. I hope you can make it!
