A Passage from Scott Spencer's story "The Royal Reykjavík Sex Tour" in Narrative's Winter 2008 issue:
What do you want to talk about? What is a nice girl like me doing in bed with a man she does not know? Well, no, I said, I wasn't going to ask that. Even though that was the question, the exact question, though, perhaps, more felicitously phrased. The one question you were never supposed to ask a prostitute was the only really important question you could ask. I like money, Sigrid said. I like to have money, I very much want the things money can buy. And I don't like working a regular job. With this, I can have my own hours. You understand, I am one of those people who do not belong. In Iceland, we have a saying, Too smart to be a soldier and you are too dumb to be general. My father said that is the definition of me.

This review is from: Narrative Magazine Winter Issue 2008 (Paperback)
Narrative Magazine has been my favorite online publication, with an incredible amalgam of material from literary legends and talented newcomers. The wonderful fiction is complemented by Lacy Crawford's well-researched illuminating interviews. And now it's in book form, joining the pantheon of indispensable literary magazines on the printed page.

My only regret in ordering Narrative Magazine is that I hadn't begun reading this publication sooner. It's wonderful, the kind of magazine you want to read from start to finish.
