Minus the Spine

Hello, indeed. In honor of my story Le Metro being published in Volume 6, Issue 3 of Toasted Cheese, I’ve decided to start a litblog that collects some of the great fiction  being published online (um, like mine) but also the book reviews, author interviews and tons of other bookish shtuff that I find. Plus, it gives me and hopefully any poor soul that finds their way here a chance to do something literary everyday.

I wrote Le Metro about two years ago. The story is really a mood piece and because of that has a more formal voice than my other stories. In writing it, I thought about the relation of cliche to fact, and the story plays with the way expectations tend to take a person away from reality. Let me know what you think.
