Phil, It took me longer than anticipated to circle back from your post What Killed the Short Story, but this morning I finally did, reading and greatly enjoying Bin Man and Herr Freidrich’s Fabulous Kabaret. Bravo to you on two excellent stories. Bin Man is one of the very few second-person POV stories I've enjoyed.
Thanks Jim. So many readers hate the second person. Admittedly, it only really works in short fiction, and shouldn't be overused, but I love it. Thanks for reading.
I too have been a bad substacker, and have not checked out as many of your posts as I should have. I'll be reading more soon.

Have your read Carlos Fuentes’s Aura? That’s the longest but if second-person I’ve read.
