Neat interview with Stephen Wright, who is not the comedian Steven Wright.
Need some advice. I’ve had great success reading the secret parts of fortune, but I need more shorter pieces to read with my students (they’re not writing anything approaching the length) of Long Island, Babylon. The anti-semitism book contains many short works, the problem is that they’re all about anti-semitism. I really can’t see teens taking well to reading fifty essays about one topic all year. So, can you, or your cabal of commentators, recommend a softcover anthology of contemporary essays/columns. I’m looking for works that run five pages or fewer. Thanks in advance.

Good question. Nothing’s jumping to mind, but I bet Elayne has some good suggestions. I just don’t know if there’s a single collection that’d be good, as opposed to a bunch of short pieces that you cobble together in your lack of free time.
Does that Michael Kelly book I got you have any good prospects?
And are Ron’s shorter pieces from the NYObsever (from the back of the Secret Parts of Fortune) more doable?
There’s just not enough pieces in SPOF to aid me in this particular task. I’ll look at the Kelly book again; I fear those pieces from the Atlantic will be way too long. Thanks for the response. Hey, I have a question. Would you spend $800 for a pond in great condition? Just wondering.
I’d spend that in a heartbeat. I thought the going rate was around $2.5K.
