Joseph
Chinnock will have a short story, Grinding Machines, published in the September
issue of The Dirty Napkin, www.thedirtynapkin.com, an online literary journal seeks
that publishes the best Poetry, Fiction, and Letters in four issues a year. A
unique feature of The Dirty Napkin is the writer also reads his or her work so
the piece is available in both text and audio format.
Grinding Machines is an excerpt from The Alchemy of Nourishment, a novel
about a post-Catholic, B minus Buddhist and aspiring foodie who joins a cooking
class in the new age Mecca of Boulder taught by a charismatic wise-woman with a
cultic past. It’s a dark, funny and heart-breaking
story that reads like a cross between A
Visit From the Goon Squad, SantaLand
Diaries and The Minority Report.
If you
like post-modern story-telling, failed Buddhists, updated Tibetan tragedies,
rogue Gurkhas, morality tales, cheap whiskey and noir than you will love Grinding Machines.
