Back in May, I was thrilled to have my story “Town of Birds,” originally published by the Kenyon Review, performed by Yetide Badaki for Selected Shorts, at a live show hosted by Amy Tan. (That sentence sounds calm for something that was totally mindblowingly incredible for me, so allow me in this parenthetical to lose my cool for a moment and say holy f***ing s**t did that really happen, OMFG wow!!!!!)
The recording is now on the Selected Shorts podcast, in an episode called “Taking Flight with Amy Tan,” along with stories by Ben Loory and Mikkel Rosengaard and commentary by host Meg Wolitzer. Find it here or on your podcast app of choice.
In other good news, the New Orleans Review nominated my story “The Moth-Child” for The Best of the Net. Thank you so much NOR!
