In this episode, we discuss “Separating” by John Updike. What can we learn from this vivid and careful short story? Can we say anything about the voice of this story? How does a story create its own voice? How can we handle many characters on the page and their conflicting motives through a single point of view? How does point of view influence a story’s voice?
