“Violations” by Catherine Lacey
Man neurotically wonders whether ex-wife has written their relationship into her New Yorker short story debut. Stories within stories within stories & long momentum-building sentences.
@hingstonolsen
Thanx to H & O for six great years of literary imagination. Thanx to the #ssac2020 community who enriched the experience everyday.
Here’s my take on this edition:

“The First Whiffs of Spring” plus other stories in the first set by Kathryn Scanlan (12/3)
Short bursts of tightly controlled narrative laying bare our corporeal selves.
Yes! We love this idea from @KoenigRMHS to keep the #ssac2020 rolling all the way until the new year. 🌲

“Monstress” by Lysley Tenorio (12/2)
Will keep up story-a-day through 12/31 w/ writers featured in this year’s SSAC.
Filipino director of creature features & his B-movie actress companion attract Hollywood attention of a sort.

Well, folks... that's it. The #ssac2020 is officially complete.
To everyone who joined us this year: thank you. We hope you enjoyed yourself, and hopefully discovered a new author or two along the way. It's been a pleasure hanging out with you all this December. 🌲
It’s December 25. Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers, could’ve sworn she left that porridge bowl right over there. #ssac2020 https://t.co/3ZdoPXmYiH
@hingstonolsen @rebeccamakkai I enjoyed the grand finale of the @hingstonolsen Short Story Advent Calendar - a disastrous community theatre production of A Christmas Carol with a troubled former soap opera star as Bob Cratchit. It's been great reading these advent calendars over the past six years! #ssac2020
Connections: that’s what I feel was the common theme in this year’s #ssac. Thank you @hingstonolsen for connecting us all through a love of reading. The #ssac has always been a highlight of my festive season, a gift I will truly miss. #amreading #ssac2020 #connections

“The George Spelvin Players” by Rebecca Makkai
“They were ridiculous people, putting on a ridiculous play.” 🌲
It’s December 24. Edward Carey, author of The Swallowed Man, writes his phone number on his hand for just such an occasion. #ssac2020 https://t.co/23OPJW9nJl

Day 24: A Portrait of an Unnamed Man… by @EdwardCarey70 #EdwardCarey
2 c selfish quick sack
1 T lost name
1 c loud smell
2 T misery of lostness
Sleep, smell, drink and eat names, and stick your tongue out in the most gorgeous of manners.

“A Portrait of an Unnamed Man” by Edward Carey
A bit stymied by this playful story. Man falls into a subterranean realm of the odd & fantastic (some kind of afterlife?).
