Hint Fiction Contest
Twitter-ization has shortened everything: blog posts, book reviews, and friendly communication. Now it’s shortened the already-shortened art of flash fiction.
Author Robert Swartwood coined the literary term “Hint Fiction” this week, describing any story that falls under 25-words, not counting the title. Until April 30th, he’s sponsoring a hint fiction contest—Stewart O’Nan (pictured), the author of “A Prayer For The Dying” and “Songs For The Missing,” will judge the final entries.

Red Lobster Fares Well in Face of Struggling Economy
Real insights into the workings of Red Lobster are found in a novel, “Last Night at the Lobster,” by Stewart O’Nan. I borrowed the book on interlibrary loan from the Grand Forks Public Library. But librarians said the book will be available here. It tells of the equipment in the kitchens, the specific duties of cooks and kitchen helpers. It describes the job of greeters, seaters and servers in all Red Lobsters.
