magazine.
With bravura storytelling, daring
imagination, and fierce narrative
control, this dazzling debut introduces
that rare writer who finds humanity in
our most unconventional behavior, and
the humor beneath our darkest
impulses.
In these ten strange, funny, and
unnerving stories, animals become the
litmus test of our deepest fears and
longings. In the title story, an elephant
keeper courts danger from his gentle
charge; in “Miss Waldron’s Red
Colobus,” a headstrong young woman
in Africa is lured by the freedom of the
monkeys in the trees; in “Talk Turkey,”
a boy has secret conversations with the
turkeys on his friend’s family’s farm; in
“Slim’s Last Ride,” a child plays chilling
games with his pet rabbit; in “Gallus
Gallus,” a pompous husband projects
his anger at his wife onto her prized
rooster.
This fresh, inventive debut will
introduce Hannah Tinti as one of the
most gifted writers of her generation.
Enter her world at your own risk, and
you will come away bewitched.

magazine that contains,

Approximately every

mail. This story will be an

Each issue is artfully designed, lightweight, easy to carry, and ready
to entertain on buses, in bed, in subways, in cars, in the park, in the
bath, in the waiting rooms of doctors, on the couch in the afternoon
or on line at the supermarket.
One Story is available only by subscription.
Why? We believe that short stories are best read alone. They
should not be sandwiched in between a review and an exposé on
liposuction, or placed after another work of fiction that is so sad or
funny or long that the reader is worn out by the time they turn to it.
The experience of reading a story by itself is usually found only in
MFA programs or writing workshops. This is a shame.
Besides, there is always time to read one story.
