FROM THE NOTEBOOK
The Pages
I Set Aside
A private room for readers who want the ground beneath the novella: the town, the objects, the places and the pages that would have slowed the telling.
ERNEST TORRS
The story stays lean.
The archive can wander.
“When I set down the Cancer Man’s account, I kept the book to the story itself — the window, the darkness, the bench in the rain. But he gave me more than the story. He gave me the ground it grew from: the town, the house, the boy before any of it began. I left those pages out so the telling would not slow. They are here now, for the reader who wants to stand where I stood.”
— Ernest Torrs
