My short story, “Cloisters,” is the Spotlight story at Mixer Publishing! Stop by and check it out, pretty please.
Danny Goodman’s “Cloisters” is a poignant love story that masterfully probes the motivations for marital infidelity. Aimee Jean, the story’s narrator, loves her husband Paul and her best friend Ryan and is torn between wanting both men for different reasons. A year after Paul initiates separation, he and Aimee Jean meet again and she struggles to make sense of their relationship. Like the greatest psychological realists — Flaubert, James, Hemingway — Goodman expertly captures the ambivalence of human desire.
