Boy With Frog

My short story Boy With Frog (titled after the Charles Ray sculpture of the same name) was published by The White Review in August, 2016. The story revolves around a young woman, her grandfather and a sculpture. As her grandfather’s health declines, the sculpture becomes a catalyzing presence in their thoughts and conversations. Boy With Frog is a meditation on mortality, art, videogames, and the intimate connection between mind and body. Read it here.
