The Wednesday Web Browser

Received via e-mail from The American Scholar: “Set aside some time the week of September 20-24 for Fiction Week on the Scholar website. Each day a fine new short story you can’t read anywhere else will appear on theamericanscholar.org, in celebration of our commitment to publishing the best new fiction online as well as in print. Look for stories by Maud Casey, Alix Ohlin, Bret Anthony Johnston, Antonya Nelson, and David Huddle.”
