One Real Story

I was pleased with a recent review of my story, Samurai Bluegrass, published in Carve magazine, summer of 2007. I never know how a work of my fiction will be read, or after spending hours on making the themes and motifs subtle, even buried, if anyone will even know what the hell I am talking about.

The writer of this review really nailed some key things:
There are many levels of grief, and even more expressions of the same. Here we meet a man who has suffered a terrible loss, but is not overly emotional, who doesn’t seem to be struggling, and not quite numb. We feel Jim’s grief, not in his dialog as much as in the atmosphere that the story creates for us.
