My story "Addiction, Obsession, Love" is up in the November Issue of TD. (thedeepening)
For those with subscriptions you can read it here...
Addiction, Obsession, Love
I am really excited about this story appearing for many reasons and if any of you do read it, I would love to hear opinions on it. I know TD is not The NewYorker, yet it is kind of great to get my stories published there at least.
Below is the teaser they put up and the Editor's note which I of course, am incredibly shocked about. Hey...I can brag a little can't I? (Yes I am comma challenged! sheesh!)
The power and poignancy of real love, can we survive its aching, turbulent reckoning upon our very soul and essence? (Literary)
Editor’s Note:
This is probably one of the most difficult pieces I’ve ever had to edit, and, if my editing lacks aplomb, for I know I have not done this story it’s true justice, I apologise. This story ached in me as I read it, then ached even harder as I tried vainly to seek out comma splices and faults, to take that which was written with such exquisite passion and honestly and bring it to some grammatical cohesion that would render it whole and globally comprehensible in its entirely to its any audience.
Some could say this is a story of closure. …But it’s not. Some would say this is a tale of errant love. Again, it’s not. This is empassioned, a real story of real love, a perspective rarely glimpsed, more rarely comprehended, and most rarely ever expressed, especially from the man’s point of view. To have this most sought for, most elusive, most evasive of all experiences brought forth in full, real, raw, unfettered expression in a modern tale of joy and sorrow, of real feeling evoking real, demonstrated interplay of passion, understanding, and melancholy, is, once more, the gift Ted William Gross brings to the world with his powerful honesty in integrity of vision. —zentao
