On tonight’s episode: Melissa Ginsburg deconstructs and extracts the ghosts from seemingly benign fragments like in the and even in; John Domini sits the kids down for a story to teach us how not to tell a story; Jason Fraley breaks our prayer, but we’re left feeling surprisingly grateful; Margaret Bashaar’s Viking ex wants his ear-spoon back; Allison Titus makes with the long-lost art of narwhal-whispering; Rachel Dacus turns a trip to the dentist into the stuff of gripping, shocking transformative myth; William Walsh twists the yiffniff of Calvin Trillin into maddeningly interrogatory spin-art; and, among many other delights, Matthew Derby puts the icing on this gray train with an excerpt from a novel-in-progress, complete with Nauseateds, nanomeals and a basketball game that quickly devolves into a hilarious, horrifying sitch.
