The Little Stories that Could

New fiction by writer and KU professor Deb Olin Unferth

KU assistant professor Deb Olin Unferth had a book of short-short stories called "Minor Robberies" published by McSweeney's in September. It is included with two other books of short-short stories, by Dave Eggers and Sarah Manguso, in a collection called "One Hundred and Forty Five Stories in a Small Box." It's awesome. You read one, and it's so short, you're like, "I'll just read one more." And then it's 2 a.m. and you've finished the book before you know it. And it fits in your pocket (if you have a big pocket). Unferth is originally from Chicago and came to KU in 2005 to teach creative writing.
