Meg Tuite's Exquisite Quartet
Meg Tuite was one of the features for my mega-reading during AWP. She also writes a regular column for Used Furniture Review called “Exquisite Quartet” (a pun on exquisite corpse). In her own words,
“Exquisite Quartet” is a collaboration of four writers who will put together a story, piece by piece. Each writer adds a bit more to the racy tale until, like an old beat-up sectional couch, it miraculously fits together. A disreputable, yet virginal theme will be chosen each month, as will three non-virginal writers. Meg Tuite will lead off the ménage a quatre.
In honor of the largess of AWP, this month's edition includes contributions from 33 writers, myself included. Check it out, and thanks to Meg for asking me to participate!
