Body
EDITOR'S NOTE. Suellen Stringer-Hye <stringers@library.vanderbilt.edu>,
compiler of the famed VNCollations, calls the following to your
attention. As an unrelated example. I mention Melvin Jules Buklet's
"Squeak, Memory" in #136 of THE PARIS REVIEW (Fall 1995).
----------------------------------------------------------
In the recent issue of _Story_ , details for this year's
fiction contest are outlined.
PUT A CELEBRITY IN A SHORT STORY
Go ahead--indulge in a little shameless name-dropping. Send us
your best stories in which a famous person makes a cameo
appearance:
A husband and wife are celebrating their reconciliation at the
Plaza, but find their noisy neighbors--a hard drinking couple know as
"Scott and Zelda"--interrrupt their second honeymoon.
"I'm usually more of a recluse," says Emily Dickinson. "This
library job is just a part time thing while I work on my poetry."
These and less literary examples are given in order to excite
interest in the contest whose First Place award is $1,000 in cash.
Contemporary celebrity, historical figure, literary legend, any
icon is fair game.
Any one want to give our man a try? The deadline is May 1, 1997. The
entry form can be found in the Winter 1997 issue of _Story_.
