During this live broadcast of Studio A from New York City, host Danielle Smith sits down with writers Stephen Cicirelli and Matthew Di Paoli for a conversation about their fiction writing. Stephen reads from his novel in progress and, along with Matthew, discusses topics such as inspiration, character development, point of view, and the tactical differences between novels and short stories.
Short Story Today
On episode 68 of the Short Story Today podcast, Stephen talks with host Jon DiSavino:
"New Jersey author Stephen Cicirelli has a penchant for philosophy--and it shows up in his stories in surprising ways. But there's nothing academic about them. They vibrate with energy, often weaving sorrow with humor. We read his story 'Quitting,' about an experiment in free will that goes awry."

These guys (@portugaltheman) are incapable of making even a mediocre album. Their entire discography is fantastic, not a single skippable song. Recently, I have been revisiting "Waves," off Evil Friends (2013). "Waves" is the best anti-war tune of the last thirty years and should be blasting in everyone's headphones. 📷 @nobody_asked_my_opinion

Researching my novel, I went on a Kierkegaard spree at my university library 📚. Even though SK kept a journal (over 7000 published pages) and wrote it, esp. in his later years, knowing that it would be read by posterity, I think you get a better picture of who he was as a person reading these fragmentary bits. Pictured here are three volumes of a seven-volume set translated by Howard and Edna Hong. The first volume of this set, translated in 1968, won the husband and wife the National Book Award. As far as I know, the twenty-volume #Danish Papirer ("papers") have still not been translated in their entirety. Any volunteers to teach me Danish?
