"At least a pork chop would feed you."

Our own lovely lady of prose, Cristina Henriquez, is now appearing in this week's New Yorker, with her story, Ashes. Congratulations!

Awesome! I can honestly say that this very excellent lady gave me a sweater once that I loved and left on an elderly bus headed back from Atlantic City. If only the current owner of the sweater knew!

The story is really good. No surprise there. She strips away everything except POV, leaving you face to face with a sympathetic character whose night really is different from all other nights. Way to go, cek! I can't tell if I'm more jealous or proud. I suppose you'll have to take both.

Great story. I hope to write about it this week.

Congratulations!

Read the story this weekend and really liked it. The phone conversation with her father was especially touching. Congrats, cek!

There is a nice review of Cristina's story at The Marvelous Garden.
