Last night’s Sunday Salon was an amazing event, with Jürgen Fauth and a four-pack of former fwriction : review contributors kicking some reading ass, including Len Kuntz, Julie Innis, Myfanwy Collins, and Robb Todd (with future contributor Sara Lippmann hosting!).
Check out their work in past issues of fwriction : review:
Len Kuntz, “The Spaces in Between”
This weekend in NYC, presented by The Uptown Collective, former fwriction : review contributor Robb Todd (“City From a Bridge”) will read from his new collection, Steal Me For Your Stories. Win.
“Snow floated in the next day, early in the morning, like a sifting, and the dark hill framed by my window slowly turned white behind the twisted black veins of barren branches and the wind rose and the snow got bigger and did not stop.”
Robb Todd, “The City From a Bridge”
There was hopeful, corny graffiti on a rock: ‘I’VE SPENT ALL MY LIFE IN SEARCH OF YOUR LOVE.’
“I dove into piles of leaves in a park because it was my last chance before the snow and if my friend and I were going to enjoy the city properly on the holiday, unbound from obligation and other people, we had to do whatever everyone else was not doing.
Birds flying in flocks circled above the streets and between buildings, black outlines against a bright, clouded sky, and they landed on ledges and rested and did the same thing over again.”
Robb Todd, “The City From a Bridge”
“What makes Steal Me [for Your Stories] great is that it completely succeeds in what all those other youth-in-the-city short story collections merely attempt – and fail – to do. Steal Me doesn’t just capture the absurdity of drunken young people in the 21st century, it doesn’t try to seek triumph from exposing the inner workings of sexually active minds, it doesn’t force truth out of vomit, cramped apartments, and antidepressants. Steal Me brings to light what those other writers apparently have forgotten is just as true and as important as those ridiculous, depressing moments: the euphoric bits of life.”
