Back to Short Story Month (which is happening over at Emerging Writers Network), I’m currently reading Stuart Dybek’s beautiful collection, I Sailed With Magellan. I highly recommend the entire collection, in particular a story I heard him read a few weeks ago at the North Dakota Writers’ Conference, “We Didn’t.”

Click here to see a list Dybek’s work in Ploughshares. Even if you haven’t read much of Dybek, you’re probably familiar with his widely anthologized very short story, “Pet Milk.” His other acclaimed story collections are The Coast of Chicago and Childhood and Other Neighborhoods.

Here’s a good interview with Dybek in The Pedestal.
