I Am Currently Working on a Novel

2015 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Prize 2015 ReLit Award, Short Fiction, Shortlist The more than 70 stories in  I Am Currently Working on a Novel  are as diverse as a telephone conversation or your average ocean. There are stories set in Hollywood, London, and the bottom of the sea. There are stories about ghosts, robots, love, Pointillism, death, and immortality. Though seldom longer than a few pages, there is more mystery and sadness and sheer mania in these slimmed-down fictions than a whole shelf-full of standard novels.
