Contrariwise

A former teacher of mine, now a coworker in a strange sense, won the WashPo Magazine’s 2007 Valentine’s Fiction Contest back in July. His story, “Love Is Kryptonite,” was just published in this weekend’s edition.

Arguments over what name to give February 14 aside, it’s a really fabulous story. Dean is an interesting guy in the truest sense of the word. I love the voice of his narrator. It’s a very Deanlike way to tell a story.
