Three Stories

Three brilliant and wide-ranging new stories from Ken Kalfus. ‘Professor Arecibo’ is a brief, distressing account of a man who observes everything. ‘The Un-’ offers a merciless look at the life of an aspiring author, surrounded by so many others like him and the stacks of blank pages on his desk. And in ‘The Moment They Were Waiting For,’ residents of a city discover the dates of their deaths, both upending and fastening the arcs of their lives.
