Mel Bosworth, skullcap connoisseur and Pushcart nominee, has a burgeoning series of youtube videos in which he reads stories by other writers. The short videos (usually less than a minute or so) work well to break down a dull day. And if you are too busy to watch, you can at least listen – Mel’s got a great reading voice. His latest, him reading the opening section of CHARACTERED PIECES. I’m thrilled and honored. One of my first intros to Mel’s work was via Folded Word’s single story “mini-mags.” The story: Leave Me as I Lessen. The reaction: floored. I meant to post about this great story before, but my goddamn life got in the way. So, I say, read it now, here. It is only downloadable for free until December 15.
