The name of this piece is “The Memoirist’s Christmas.” It’s about wallowing in the depths of sobriety. I think that sometimes, when someone’s in a particular mood, a mood that leads that person to feel as if the world cannot accommodate them, then she or he might also be led to conclude that the world is unaccommodating in general. This piece was certainly written from a place of misanthropy and the fear through which that distrust is derived. I’m really proud of this story, and was elated to hear about its acceptance into “Pisgah.”

“Pisgah” is the publication that was wonderful enough to publish “The Memoirist’s Christmas.” They operate out of the creative writing department at Brevard College, in Brevard, North Carolina. The story is available in print, which means that it is not posted online. If you’d like to order a copy, you’ll have to send the editor, Jubal Tiner, a check for $7. Unfortunately, the editor can be a difficult man to pin down.
