One of Sarah’s Stories:
A Story Sarah Loves:
“Driving Home, I Imagined the Man I’d Just Met, Alone in His Apartment, Washing By Hand the Glass from which I’d Drunk” by Doug Paul Case
Dealbreaker:
I love work that profits from the economy of language–the more information that can be conveyed in just a few words, the more impressed I am. So a dealbreaker for me is when someone is doing more talking than they have to. A story doesn’t need to be a short-short for me to love it, but it needs to pack a punch in every word it uses.
