MELINDA MOUSTAKIS -- One of 5 Under 35!

So we're a little slow here... but we just got word that in mid-November Melinda Moustakis -- who published a wonderful, searing story in MR 50.4 -- was named on the 2011 National Book Foundation's "5 Under 35" Fiction list!  Congratulations Melinda! This latest recognition comes for her linked story collection Bear Down, Bear North: Alaska Stories, which also won the 2010 Flannery O'Connor Award in short fiction.  The book came out with the University of Georgia Press just this past September.  To get you started, because we know you won't be satisfied with just one ... here once again is the MR story from her collection: "This One Isn't Going to Be Afraid"!
