This post will serve as a kind of anchor post, listing the pieces and linking to our posts on each. Should folks wish to weigh in on the issue as a whole, please comment here.

Here are the four fiction pieces (again, I’ll have individual posts up very soon):

In addition to these fiction pieces, the following writers (and cartoonists) have provided pieces about old flames:

  • Alison Bechdel: “Gradual Impact” (link to entire piece)
  • Rachel Kushner: “The Adolescents” (link to the abstract)
  • Joshua Ferris: “Good Legs” (link to the abstract)
  • Colm Tóibín: “Stories” (link to the abstract)
  • Miranda July: “TV” (link to the entire piece)
  • Tobias Wolff: “Beautiful Girl” (link to the abstract)
  • Chris Ware: “Possession” (link to the abstract)

I haven’t read any of these yet, so I’m not sure if we’ll put individual posts up.
