   Summary

   Only now the reply is burned onto his retinas ‘Dear Mr. Mariano, We are delighted to inform you that your short story ‘Truant’ has been accepted for publication in our fall edition…’ He's going to be in print and not in some little indie zine either, the Paris Review is a respected journal, perhaps even the journal. It has a less than one percent acceptance rate. They've published work by Phillip Larkin, Jean Genet, fucking Kerouac. Publishers read it. Literary agents read it. Rory might read it!
