TRACKS Author Published in The Arabesques Review

TRACKS author Eric D. Goodman has a short story published in the current issue of The Arabesques Review. His story has been published both in their print and online versions.

The printed magazine is about 150 pages and features original poetry, fiction, and articles along with translations of essays and interviews by international writers, journalists, scholars, and poets. Each issue is illustrated by featured artists. And every issue includes guest editors from around the world.

The theme of the current issue is Globalization. Not just economically, but socially, politically, emotionally.

Goodman’s story is called Di Did Die (But So Did I). It’s about an American who seems to catch London’s foggy mood during his vacation there the day after Princess Di’s accident.

Coincidentally, Di Did Die (But So Did I) has been published on the tenth anniversary of the tragic accident. Goodman wrote the story ten years ago, a day or two after the accident happened.

TRACKS Author Serves as Literary Correspondent

Did you know that in addition to writing and editing Writeful, his popular literary blog, TRACKS author Eric D. Goodman also serves as a Book Correspondent for Gather?



Based on the literary-related material Goodman writes for Writeful and shares with the Gather community, the Gather editorial team asked him to publish a regular, weekly column to Gather Essentials on the Books and Writing content channel. He is now a paid literary columnist.



Eric D. Goodman has been publishing his weekly literary column, Lit Bit, on Gather for about six months now. Almost every column makes the front page of Gather.



Every Wednesday, around noon, Eric shares a new Lit Bit. He crafts each bit to fulfill your literary longings, and encourages readers to comment and contribute to the conversation. Gather makes interaction easy, so you can be a part of the column. Eric writes about writers, writing, books, publishing, and all things literary. It's a great way to get feedback from the author and to participate in a literary conversation with other lovers of literature.



Look for the next Lit Bit this Wednesday. Or, hit “recent articles on LitBit” and travel back to all of the past Lit Bits where the conversation – your ability to comment and be commented to – is still alive!
