Editor's Fiction in Miranda Literary Magazine

The Managing Editor's fiction is currently available in Miranda Literary Magazine. Robert's story is entitled "Addressing Amy."

Robert explains, "After a dry spell, this was the story that got my feet wet again. It ended up opening the flood-gates, in fact. Some of my best work followed fast on the heels of this modest little piece—which is therefore close to my heart. Part of the inspiration for this story came from a movie I admire, "About Schmidt." After his wife's death, Schmidt is going through sympathy cards. This quiet and introspective sequence triggered a sentiment, and then a thought. The resulting story can trace its route to that moment of inspiration. The story is about grief, yes, but much more: It is about the basic human experience and our inability to prepare ourselves for or cushion each other from the hardships therein. That is not to say the story is hopeless. There is hope in moving through, in surviving, in realization. This too is a basic human experience."

The story is available along with the entire issue, free of charge.
