this was a terrific collection of short stories and I loved all of them. Every story has a different subject, interesting characters, and entertains as well as informs. I read Janet Burroway's story and was very involved in that since she's written about writing and I wanted to see how she put together a story. I also enjoyed Lorrie Moore's story and have read her work before.Definitely worth ordering with StoryQuarterly which I devoured!
Praise for Narrative

"It's great news for writers and readers alike that Narrative Magazine promotes fiction and nonfiction of far higher quality than many of the national publications available on newsstands. This is what the Internet was meant to supply. Congratulations to Tom Jenks and Carol Edgarian on a magazine that continues to grow in readership and reputation." --Ron Hansen "Narrative is a vibrant and engaged community of literary excellence--the gold standard for integrity. Tom Jenks and Carol Edgarian are two of the very finest and most passionate editors at work today." --Rick Bass "Narrative is one of the most exciting and innovative literary magazines I have seen in the past decade. It's attractively edited, wonderfully readable and diverse in its contents. I look forward to reading it for a very long time." --Joyce Carol Oates "You are doing a splendid job for the short story, and writers like myself are very much aware of that." --William Trevor "Here we are, expanding the range of the best of contemporary literature to the very boundaries of the cyberspace universe and beyond. Narrative is a writer's dream come true. Now, if only we could get the direct brain hookups we've all been waiting for." --T. Coraghessan Boyle
