About Douglas Watson:
Douglas Watson’s first book, a collection of stories called The Era of Not Quite, won the inaugural BOA Editions Short Fiction Prize and will be published by BOA in May 2013. He also recently completed a short novel, which is being represented by Georges Borchardt Inc. His fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in Fifty-two Stories, Tin House Flash Fridays, One Story, Sou’wester, The Journal, Ecotone, Salt Hill, and other publications. His story “Life on the Moon” was chosen by Dan Chaon and Wigleaf in 2012 as one of the year’s top fifty very short fictions. He will be featured as a literary debutante at One Story’s 2013 Literary Debutante Ball.
“The Era of Not Quite (BOA, 2013) is a fiction story collection chock-a-block with deaths, births, sea and land voyages, excursions to the library, philosophical asides, and things like wolves. People fall in and out of love, walk in and out of buildings, take two steps forward and two steps back. Futility is a theme of the book, but so is the necessity of trying.”
