I think that he may be unknown to most everyone. Currently finishing up his MFA at Syracuse University, I think his work has just started to surface in public, with &#8220;The Shop,&#8221; a piece published by Granta online showing up earlier this year (<a href=\"https:\/\/granta.com\/the-shop\/\">here<\/a>). In 2018, his story &#8220;Superking Son Scores Again,&#8221; published in\u00a0<em>n+1<\/em>, won the Joyce Carol Oates Award in Fiction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Three Women of Chuck&#8217;s Donuts&#8221; takes place in a donut shop owned by a Cambodian woman who employs her two daughters in the overnight shift. They notice a man comes to store often in the middle of the night to get an apple fritter.
