> Hi, Richard. Don't forget these early JCO short stories:
> "Fine White Mist of Winter" in By the North Gate
> (1963)
> "The Molesters" in the novel Expensive People (1968)
> "Up From Slavery," in The Hungry Ghosts (1974) this story
> originally published in Playboy Magazine
> "Concerning the Case of Bobby T" and "Assault" in The
> Goddess & Other Women (1974)
> "Golden Gloves" in Raven's Wing (1986)
> "An American Adventure" in The Seduction & Other Stories
> (1975)
> also the play Cry Me A River (198?)
>
> Linking these stories to the novels would be a far more interesting and

> The fiction itself is of vastly more importance than any critique
