Very late
It is very late at night and I'm just returning home from a night out. Tonight I went to a reading at a friend's house. The author is a Jesuit priest from Nigeria, who had his first short story (and second) published in The New Yorker, and a collection of stories coming out in a few weeks.
Here are the most surprising things I learned:
1. If you get a story accepted by The New Yorker they call to tell you
2. They also will fact-check the hell out of your story, which is kind of cool and fascinating
