Contributing Writer
I don’t read short stories as often as I once did. These days when I turn to fiction, I prefer the complexity, character development and narrative arc of a novel. Recently, however, a documentary about Flannery O’Connor, one of the masters of the short story, led me to give the genre another try. By happenstance, a collection by a regional writer recently crossed my desk: “By the Way,” by Caperton Tissot. The stories feature a number of familiar short fiction subjects: marriages that have lost their allure for both parties, introspective conflict about the superficiality of financial success, boredom and restlessness. In several cases, people are connivers, and the potential for evil lurks just beneath the surface.
