I think whenever short story writers make the news, it should be mentioned here. Not because every single short story writer deserves extra mention, but because short stories are a form I adore, and I would love it if there was a bit more attention paid to it. Admittedly, I probably won't post as many notices like this one, but I need a way to kick it off, so here's Russell Banks appearing in Lake Placid:
The Adirondack Mountain Club Presents Russell Banks: Fiction vs. Fact in the Adirondacks: "Author Russell Banks will be giving a reading and discussion of fiction set in the Adirondacks featuring his novels The Sweet Hereafter, Cloudsplitter, The Darling, and numerous other short stories at the High Peaks Information Center, located at the end of Adirondak Loj Road, on Saturday, August 13, at 8:00PM."
Russell Banks is one of those writers who can pass back and forth between stories and longer novels and do so with great aplomb. And I don't use that word lightly. Aplomb. I don't even spell it lightly.
