In this episode, we discuss "The Complete" by Gabriel Smith. What can we learn from this story made up of semi-connected snippets? How can disconnected pieces of narrative connect with one another to create interwoven threads? How many first-parson narrators can a story have? How much should a story rely on the reader's own story-external experience of things?

Why Is This Good? is a podcast from the Naples Writers' Workshop in which we read successful stories and ask "Why is this good?"
Through our discussion, we hope to discover useful things to say about how fiction works, the craft of writing, and literary art. We try to find lessons for our own writing by closely examining well-written stories, and we hope to share some of those lessons with our audience.
Why is This Good? is produced in Naples, Florida by the Naples Writers' Workshop.
