A new short story collection, “A Moral Tale and Other Moral Tales,” was published by Dzanc Books in April 2017, and followed two new stories, “The Stranger” in West Branch and “BANG” in Black Clock. HarperCollins recently brought out “The Loss of Leon Meed” and “Prescription for a Superior Existence” in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and an essay on Philadelphia’s great Dirty Franks appeared in the anthology “Come Here Often?”

Progress on a new novel, “The New Romantics,” continues.
