Hirschworth magazine accepts "Tonsorial Parlor"

Monday’s frittata was the highlight of Creation for Big Sal’s wife.  She’d been working for years at perfecting the near Renaissance consanguinity of peppers, ham, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and onions nestled in the golden-baked whipped eggs and milk.  Big Sal--barber and half owner of Sal & Sal Hair Salon & Tonsorial Parlor--a redundant name because, when translated, it simply meant Sal and Sal Barbershop and Barbershop--had the sly confidence of knowing that The Other Sal would finally be impressed.  Like Caravaggio with his paintings, Big Sal’s egg pie was his lead upon the scale, by which he measured the world of his sins and desires.

 So begins "Tonsorial Parlor", my latest short story to be accepted by a literary magazine.  Hirschworth has slated it for publication on October 20th.  I hope you will read it when it appears.  Go to http://www.hirschworth.com.
