We’re excited to announce that Emma Duffy-Comparone (Fiction 2012), who is currently on a fellowship at Yaddo, has won a second Pushcart Prize! The prize is for her story “The Devil’s Triangle,” which was originally published in the New England Review, and will appear in The Pushcart Prize XLI: Best of the Small Presses in November 2016. And, if that weren’t enough, Emma was recently hired as an assistant professor of creative writing at Merrimack College.
Way to go, Emma! Congratulations!

Just enjoyed Emma’s satirical narrator in her short story “Plagiarism” in the Nov. issue of The Sun. I can identify with the ethical dilemma, especially in light of a more corporatized boarding school context.
