“Catch and Release”

There are days I see him and Alice murmuring together, in a corner of a lobby under Muzak or out in the desert when the rest of us are stretching sore kneecaps or trying to jog out a sad wobbly mile or meditate or otherwise pretending we didn’t just watch somebody live out their most lurid, grotesque desires on willing human subjects. (Joyland)

“Gravity”

Younger—the feeling of a lifetime ago, if you believe in that kind of thing—he would sometimes have a strange, nearly paranormal sense of things impossibly far out of range. (Glimmer Train New Writer Award, nominated for Pushcart Prize)

“Gold Coast”

That spring, none of us particularly wanted to be in the ugly snow-drenched town and nobody was going to do anything about it either. (Zoetrope: All-Story Short Story Contest honorable mention, judged by Colum McCann)
