20 over 60 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Usually a title like “30 under 30” is a magazine article in a business or chamber of commerce magazine about some high achieving young person recently made assistant vice president for marketing or elected to the city council. The stories in this collection are by writers over 60 about characters over 60: grown-ups. You might say this is a narrow potential audience: after all, don’t TV shows and retailers want the youth market? Yes, but this is the reading market and while young people, we are a
Hermits Die on Thursday (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Hermits Die on Thursday” is Gregory Ariail’s second volume of fantasy fiction, speculative and imaginative. The first was “The Gospel of Rot,” in which a woman, Amelia, after 50 years as a recluse, ventures out into the world, mainly Appalachia, and has adventures, including finding a neighbor who has turned into an apple tree.

Read excerpt
At a reading in South Carolina, Shannon, a mid-list novelist, is approached by an elegant older woman, Margaret Stevenson, a “blueblood,” who introduces her companion, Grace Ferrell, and says: “Grace has a miraculous story.

Read excerpt
The ranks of Alabama fiction writers are, alas, thinning. In 2020 we lost Winston Groom, Bill Cobb and Brad Watson. Then there was a merciful hiatus. On July 21, Charles Gaines passed away at the age of 84. His obituaries are generous, and many praise his splendid writing of the outdoors, hunting and fishing, his invention with two friends of paintball, and most especially the 1974 book “Pumping Iron,” which put the sport of body-building and Arnold Schwarzenegger into the mainstream. Since his
True Believer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“True Believer,” published by the Livingston Press, is an unusual book in several ways. There are 74 “stories,” each one a single paragraph centered on the page like a poem. The shortest story is only 6 lines long. The longest is 18. These are not conventional narratives, with description and dialogue. They are snapshots, vignettes. They capture a moment or a memory, and immediately reminded me of the early version of Hemingway’s 1924 booklet, “in our time”—lower case. There were only 18 pieces
