Things I did not like about “Showing Up”:
- Unrealistic depiction of the artist as someone who does not incessantly snack. Where are the snacks???

- The artist as introverted curmudgeon who resents noisy parties and also resents not being invited to them
- Professional jealousy and the overcoming thereof
- The title that works on so many levels

Really loved your story, “The Everest Society,” in One Story several years ago. I hope it’s in the collection :) Can’t wait to read more of your wonderful work!
