With the good will of the fine folks at Opium Magazine, I’ve made the full text of my new short humor piece, “The,” available for free on Issuu.com. It is an obituary for Amélie Prouveaux, an avant-garde writer who decided that words were the enemy of literature. You can click on the animated pages below to view the story. If you dig “The”, don’t keep it to yourself — pass it on to friends, embed it on your blog, or post it to your profile. Even better, be sure to pick up Opium 6 (Go Green! But Save Me First) at your favorite book shop or www.opiummagazine.com to read the plethora of great pieces in the new issue.
