Chestnut Hill Book Festival 9/30
Although the lovely and talented Cyrus Duffleman will be missed, this fall's Chestnut Hill Book Festival offers a competitive array of literature and politics. Perhaps no longer so "Easy" Ed Rendell is leading the charge to the evening's lasagna room, but Philadelphia Stories, Painted Bride Quarterly, Temple's Miles Orvell and so much more are proudly representing for the City of Brotherly Love.

good stories
I'm finding great stories everywhere I look, which currently happens to be the fall issue of Philadelphia Stories and the new edition of The Best American Short Stories (2010). From Philadelphia Stories, here is the full text of "The Sea Crest" by Jeff W. Bens. I'm just realizing that gambling is a theme in this one as well as my favorite so far from the Richard Russo edited 2010 Best of: "Donkey Greedy, Donkey Gets Punched" by Steve Almond. I just googled the latter and found a link to this cool short story blog (out of Philly no less). The Almond story is noted (and was presumably read) on October 25, 2010.
