from the fabulous fiction faculty member, Pinckney Benedict:
"My story “Bridge of Sighs” (originally published in the Summer
2007 issue of Zoetrope: All-Story) has been selected by guest editor ZZ
Packer for New Stories from the South: Best of 2008, due out from Algonquin
Books in September 2008.
Also, my story “Mercy” (originally published in the Fall/Winter 2006/2007 issue of Ontario Review and recently reprinted in PushcartPrize XXXII) will be included in
21st Century American Short Fiction, due out from Ecco Press in August 2008. The volume is edited by Joyce Carol Oates and includes work from, among others, Richard Bausch, Michael Chabon, Mary Gaitskill, Edward P. Jones, Lorrie Moore, George Saunders, and Tobias Wolff."
That Pinckney's quality!
