It has been a week full of amazing things but this shout-out by @florencemachine just shot me into the stratosphere. And the song is a BOP. 😭
This one goes out to everyone who ever made a face and told me that nobody reads short story collections. Don’t listen! Keep writing short stories!
@legroff Like, everyone who's never read, e.g., Chekhov or Munro?
@legroff I love short story collections. I've read several of your novels as well, but Florida is my absolute favorite work by you this far.
@legroff Florida is SO GOOD, those stories killed me. (hi from Lake Eola Heights)
@legroff Hard to have a favorite of yours but Florida has to be #1 for me. Sobbed through the girls in the swamp. The story of wartime struck me deeply. Matrix is a close second!
@legroff Your New Yorker short stories were what got me writing again years ago! Them & The Monster of Templeton of course 🖤🔥🖤
