"Single" contains two previously published short stories: "Miss Tennessee" and "The Cryerer," which first appeared in The Land-Grant College Review and One Story, respectively. Both will appear in "Why They Cried," my new e-book collection, coming in October 2010 from Joyland and ECW Press. Enjoy the sample and visit whytheycried.com for news and updates.
Jim Hanas is the author of the short story collection Why They Cried (Joyland/ECW Press) and the novel Lou Reed’s Nephew, forthcoming from Coffee House Press. His fiction has appeared in Electric Literature, Fence, Joyland, McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, and One Story.
Short modern fiction with a very McSweeney's feel, charmingly packaged in a free ebook.
If this sounds enjoyable to you, your time is definitely not wasted with these 2 off-kilter stories. Worst-case scenario: you become a fan of Hanas and your'e out ~$10 when you buy the collection these were taken from.
