I know I haven't posted much lately, but here is some brief news.
1. Eric N. and I started a writing group.
2. I'm still working at the union hall.
3. Uhhhh... I got some new shoes.
I'm up to a lot, as you can see.
The real purpose of this post is to implore you to check this link. It's audio of Richard Yates reading aloud his story, Best of Everything, to an audience in the late 1970's. I read this story almost a year ago, when my dad first handed me his short story collection. One of the best writers of the 20th century, Yates's simple narrative can't be beat. He constantly hints, ever so close, to complex themes and social issues that manifest themselves in relatable characters. Please, please, please, give this a listen.
