A SMALL, GOOD THING
Every so often, I send out a free newsletter with a link to one of my favourite short stories. Sometimes I write a lengthy intro to the story and its author, sometimes I don’t. It really depends on the weather. In all cases, if you like the story, I urge you to buy/loan the collections from which they came.
I’m in the process of transferring the intros from one to place to another. In the meantime, you can read all the stories here, including stories by:

Homes, Shinichi Hoshi, Miranda July, Franz Kafka, Ring Lardner, April Ayers Lawson, Clarice Lispector, Katherine Mansfield, William Maxwell, Lisa McInerney, Bernard Malamud, Lorrie Moore, Flannery O'Connor, Frank O'Connor, Tillie Olsen, Guadalupe Nettel, Leslie Norris, Dorthe Nors, ZZ Packer, Grace Paley, João Guimarães Rosa, Leone Ross, JD Salinger, George Saunders, Bob Shaw, Ali Smith, Cathy Sweeney, Dylan Thomas, David Foster Wallace, Robert Walser, Joy Williams, Richard Yates, Alejandro Zambra.
