In view of Augustine, Alice, and the coupla-two-tree books sitting on the table for many moons…oh, and the story-games (dubbed that for research purposes) such as Still Life, Scratches, Watchmaker and Silent Hill, I think that I need to move into a short-story format reading style rather than a novel that may be so good it grabs all my limited attention. For those reasons, and the fact that I’m starting to be too embarrassed to include the dates of these literary journals I’m catching up on little by little.
There appear to be more stories than usual in this issue–actually thirteen!–and maybe that alone dates it; when a lit journal wasn’t 20 pages of story and 200 of poems, essays, reviews, and interviews–so it’s not your quick read, but the story breaks do tend to give a nice stopping point to wander onto other things.
