Hi to all Fictionauters,
I have The Story of the Week up at Narrative Magazine. It's called ARAMAIC and I hope you will all pull up the site and read it. If you're not already a subscriber to Narrative, it's FREE and EASY!
Any comments you want to write, most appreciated, but mostly I just hope you will all check in and check it out.

Congratulations, Cherise! Looking forward to reading and enjoying.
Now, I've read it and it was a lovely, touching piece, so well-constructed and expressed.
Good story! Lovely closing paragraph. Congrats, Cherise.
Loved this story, Cherise.
Big fan of Cherise's fiction. I'll check it out.
Yay! Thanks for posting, Cherise. When did Narrative become free to subscribers? A new or newer development. That is terrific that your story is featured, and I look forward to reading it. Great, appetizing title.
Wow, admiring to the end, that I misread as "chimp" instead of "champ" at simple glance. It seems adept work in language history both contemporized and aligned with literary history, Kafka and Homer. Very smooth work. --AMB
And by the way, that is much finer praise than I can express toward recent stories in The New Yorker, each of them a mass of wires to mislead Americans by Americans. :-)
Writers writing fakely in the NYer about a faux country to people who have never been there. T.C. Boyle's (story on temporary hold in my queue, not likely to seem faultable as writing) and Lipsyte's let's hope both are good. Erdrich has taken leave of us this time, a distinctly disjoint misanchoring in time on the first full page, narrated by a "Nordic" "man" -- I wish she had written authentically about a Norwegian man, oy vey, uff da.
