The Return of the Old

Jack Cavanaugh, novelist and longtime friend, published a short story on his blog last week. Rather than posting the whole thing, he drew a card from publishers in the 1800s: he published it in serial fashion--like Dickens and others--releasing a short portion of the story each day of the week.

That got me wondering about art of short fiction in the twenty-first century, so I asked Jack if he would join me for a short interview. He agreed. Enjoy.

Wow! I've been praying, thinking, searching for a distictive format for a new blog. This has real possibilities.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to both of you.

For the last year I've been writing a Twitter "novel" called "Minimal Boy," 140 characters or less at a time. I love Flash fiction, and "Minimal Boy" is a real challenge, but I like it. @mnmlboy
