Deborah Jiang Stein posted a blog postAbout the Zebra
The dry harsh laughter of a man in the distance streams into a high and tenor chuckle right behind her, then far away, the upstairs telephone clamors and she doesn’t pick up at first. The ninth ring drives her into near insanity yet even now she doesn’t answer because her husband, Bill, just turned into a winged zebra, still with paws, enormous ones, he can peel an orange with one hand and it’s not that he needs to or that his other hand is busy, but he likes the challenge, the discipline, to…See More
Gita commented on Deborah Jiang Stein's blog post LAST DAY OF ESTHER LEVIN"I left my comment at Fictionaut and have to say to everyone on 6S who comes along after me, READ THIS STORY! Deborah, it's wonderful."
Michael Brown commented on Deborah Jiang Stein's blog post LAST DAY OF ESTHER LEVIN"Read the longer version on Fictionaut and this abridgement doesn't do it justice, but it was tease enough to lure me over. Very good. Time seems to flow backwards in the middle of Esther's day, but that is perhaps a small typo. I like the…"
