Congratulations to MAKE Nonfiction Editor Kathryn Scanlan for winning the 2010 Iowa Review Award for Fiction!
Kathryn’s work was chosen by Michael Cunningham and will be printed in the December 2010 Iowa Review.
First Prize: Kathryn Scanlan, “The Old Mill”
“J lives at the top of French Hill Road and I live at the bottom. When he comes for me I can hear him coming. If I’m holding a cup of coffee when he gets in his car and starts it, my coffee cup will shudder in my hand. But when that happens I need only to set it down, the cup, onto a table or near the sink. I put on my jacket and put my hands in the pockets.”
Love this story. Mentioned it on my blog last night. Thank you for writing it. Now I’m curious about Makemag — will click over to start reading it.
