Hey Joe, saw your postings elsewhere and just wanted to say I like your style. Also, glad you are here on Fictionaut!

oh, and i look forward to reading your work!

Joe, thanks so much for reading -- and for your comments on "Jew." i guess the title was intended to function on a couple levels -- most directly, it refers to her Tay-Sachs baby (T.S. being typically a "Jewish disease.") then, in a more xenophobic way, it echoes the suggestion that the shopkeeper -- this other, this stranger -- has Semitic blood, is Jewish too (like her son, who isn't but is). and then finally, as set up by the last sentence of the piece, it is meant to reflect inward, as if, this stranger and this baby, both of whom are foreign (in different ways), are at the end of the day, rooted in herself. does that make any sense? the original title of it was "the stranger" -- perhaps that would have worked better?
