Repetition compulsion

March 9, 2011 by Kathleen Rooney

Lily Hoang took incomplete and/or abandoned short stories from 20 or so writers, then she finished them. Now, you can read them all in a single collection called UNFINISHED, recently published by Jaded Ibis Press. One of the stories, “So Cold and Far Away,” started out as mine, and it–greatly improved by Lily’s efforts–is in here, too:

And because if doing something once is good, then doing that same thing twice is better, the story has also been published recently in Re: Telling: an Anthology of Borrowed Premises, Stolen Settings, Purloined Plots and Appropriated Characters edited by William Walsh, because we borrowed/stole/purloined/appropriated elements of the biblical Book of Ruth.  Thanks, Lily!
