i ordered a copy of the new American Short Fiction and damn... it is so good. i'm especially in love with susan steinberg's signifier. [are short stories in italics or in quotation marks? i'm off work and don't want to double check]. it is poetry. "signifier" [that's for balance]. anyway, the issue gave me two things:
1. hope that i can get some of the novel into the world
2. a love of fiction i didn't know i had
how amazing is that? a journal gave me hope and love. weird. but it did. and i'm not exaggerating. i read 4 stories last night. that's not like me at all.
anyway, i think everyone should probably read signifier. it is human. it is experience. it gives the reader options but not really.

Steinberg's great. My students are coming to class on Monday read to discuss her story "Saturday". What other stories are interesting you in the anthology?
