A MANNA OF SHORT STORIES AND MOVIES
I had just put away my collections of short stories - finished the Pushcart 2007 and almost-finished the O'Henry '07 - to begin reading a few novels, starting with Cormac McCarthy's The Road when:
My first issue of my Harper's subscription arrived and there it was - short fiction by David Bezmozgis' titled The Proposition. One of the books I brought back from my first trip, last year, to the US was his Natasha and Other Stories. He was also one of the workshop instructors I was fortunate to meet at last years Zoetrope All-Story camp in Belize. The story in Harpers is a wonderful one and it reminded me of a 2004 Argentinian movie I saw this week - Whisky.
The guy at Video Dogs in Carlton has promised me another in the same vein - Brazil - that I am looking forward to.
