I have loved Your work ever since I read "How to date a Brown Girl..." in the New Yorker, which I guess was quite a while ago. I am pretty sure it made me gasp. You have such an amazing, distinctive voice, I admit I was surprised that such work showed up in the New Yorker. I was clearly underestimating the New Yorker. Anyway, as someone who loves short stories, probably more than novels these days, I wonder if You think the short story is somehow undersold by the publishing industry or the media, such that short story collections seldom make best-seller lists. What would it take for a short story to make it big? Apart from being made into a movie first....
