In honor of the aforementioned short fiction month, I’ve decided to point you, dear reader, to a different short story every day in May. Today’s story is a favorite from the archives of Literary Mama, a funny story about an expatriate Finnish couple in Alabama (which I understand is not a funny place right now) and their misadventures with an au pair. So here it is – Au Pair in Alabama, or The Legend of the Dog Killer by Tua Laine.
All my best to the people of Alabama, especially Tuscaloosa, and to Tua Laine, especially if she’s still in the state.
