The Awl In Your Internet Mailbox!

by David Cho
Kathleen Kelly, owner of a mom and pop children's bookstore, is having an affair. Although she's with Frank Navasky, a well-known journalist and man about town, she betrays him by secretly and anonymously corresponding with aman whom she met in an AOL chat room. Then, suddenly, her world starts to crumble around her, her business gets endangered by the opening of monolithic Fox Books discount store right around the corner. She meets Joe Fox, the young hotshot son of the owner, and immediately does not like him or his arrogant way of managing business matters. Naturally she turns to her anonymous e-mail friend for advice, he recommends that she close down her store. Things really start to heat up for the pair when Fox learns that his anonymous mail-pal is none other than his professional nemesis Kathleen Kelly. Hilarity and romance ensue.

Remember last year (seriously, the last one was in June of 2009) when we were sending out an e-mail newsletter that delivered all sorts of tidbits from Choire and Alex’s brains into your inboxes (and hearts)? Well, a few months later than we promised we would, we’re doing the newsletter things once again! Just go here and sign up for our mailing list to read their musings on all sorts of fun topics! We’ve already done two this week! One about ‘zines and the other about wives!
