Hi Aaron, thanks for re-sharing the Legend of The Convenience Store Cashier and your writing update. I felt the same way you did about St. Alwynn. I made a New Year's resolution to read or listen to the New Yorker story each week; this week's story, Chuka by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is much better. I liked some the conventional wisdom it up-turned and what it had to say about love, desire, and gratitude. The podcast was perfect because I wouldn't have known the pronunciations without the author's voice.
Yeah, I don't read the NYer story *every* week... but most! I take the print issue and, like with all my daily stories, enjoy my time away from screens. I only just today got the new issue with the Adichie story. I'll probably read (and then blog about it) this week or next!
