9. The Big Balloon, by J. Edward Kruft
Today I had the pleasure of reading J. Edward Kruft's story "The Big Balloon," followed by a wide-ranging conversation with Joe about MFA programs, character motivation, and the #FlashFiction format.
"The Big Balloon" appeared in the June 2020 issue of Door is a Jar Magazine and you can find it on his website.
J. Edward Kruft received his MFA in fiction writing from Brooklyn College, and has been a Best Small Fictions nominee. His stories have appeared in Jellyfish Review, MoonPark Review and Typehouse Literary Magazine, among others. He is a Virgo, and as such, while working at a storied fast food chain, he made an impassioned but reasoned argument against polyester uniforms given their proximity to the fry machine. He was fired. Originally from the very west of Washington state, he now lives in the very west of Queens, NY and Sullivan County, NY with his husband, Mike, and their adopted Siberian Husky, Sasha.
If you're a writer and would like to have your story read on Barn Burning, please email me at [email protected], or find me on Twitter at @barnburnpodcast. Read on, fellows barn-burners!
