Re: DAMTSIO – “Frans”

I chatted with WhiskeyPaper Press about the first story in my collection Don’t Ask Me to Spell It Out, “Frans”:

I’m fascinated with how we remember things—with how we want to remember things. We want to create life where there is none; we want to forget pain when we should be holding onto it. Frans in this story—his house, his life—is this whole other stable life that the unnamed narrator is recalling.
