Appendix A: New Atlantic Fiction

The annual Atlantic Summer Fiction Issue is out. As has been discussed in previous posts, this is one of the two most prestigious publications for short fiction (the New Yorker being the other, natch!) and has a history of including overtly faith-based stories. This year is no exception, as Wendell Berry is included.

Meanwhile, Quinn Dalton wonders if the short story has a place in magazines today.

Also of Interest: Peter Robins makes the case that the 2nd sentence of a novel is more telling than the highly publicized firsts (Anna Karenina, Moby Dick). (Link tip from Maud Newton.)
