Great post. But one slight correction. Unless Wharton also published a story called "The Story of An Hour," the author of that short story is actually Kate Chopin. That said, I subscribe to Narrative e-mails and get regular stories sent to me. I confess I don't really read them. I'm still not yet game to read stories online. Yeah, Art. Great post.

I agree, if I thought I'd be up against Bausch in that sort of contest, I'd be even more intimidated about submitting than I already am. = ) Christina Hi Art!

I love Bausch, but find it a little more than unsettling that Narrative chose to give that prize to him rather than a writer who could greater benefit from the accolade. A friend of mine was a finalist for that contest--a young, very talented, fresh MFA grad who might have seen a much-deserved career boost from the exposure, not to mention the money--and the fact that Narrative didn't seize the opportunity to usher in new writers to fold is depressing to say the least. OK. Off the soap box now. Adios. Here here on this post, Art.
