In this episode, we discuss “A Telephone Call” by Dorothy Parker. What can we learn from this intense interior monologue story? How does this nearly 100-year-old story still reflect modern reality? How does the representation of a spiraling, fixating mind still produce forward momentum? How can paragraphing and punctuation help guide the reading experience?
