Thanks so much for the tip----I'm sorry to say I haven't even heard of the story itself, so I'm glad to know where to find a new JCO short story...

Re: JCO: JCO Quoted in Today's NYT

Here is the quote from yesterday's Times. JCO is speaking about literary novelists who attempt to address the 911 tragedy.

 

By no means is that an easy task, of course. Joyce Carol Oates, the author and critic whose recent short story "The Mutants" dealt with a woman trapped
in her Lower Manhattan apartment on 9/11, said novels might not be the art form best able to address the events of that day.

"This does seem to be about the right time for these novels to be coming out," Ms. Oates said. "But the greatest art form to deal with this might be film,
because it can capture the hallucinatory nature of the long hours of that siege."
