The Sad Oranges of Poland

A short story of mine has just been published in Margin - the Journal of Magical Realism. Every couple of years I initiate a big push to get some of my stuff published. It's usually not very successful. This story was the only one from the dozen or so I sent out two years ago that was picked up. I'm particularly happy to see The Sad Oranges of Poland published, as it is one of my personal favorites. There's a funny thing about this story. It was written before the Iraq War, 9/11, or the 2000 Florida Election re-count. But read in the light of those events, it becomes rather political.
