It’s Valentine’s Day; Love is in the air.  But Love, actually, is on the air as well.

 

Tune in to Baltimore’s NPR station for a love story set on a train.  Enjoy “The Silences,” a story about a young couple in love on the heart-red Cardinal line from Baltimore to Chicago.  “The Silences” is a story from Tracks: A Novel in Stories.

You’re also welcome to read “The Silences” online.  An early version of the story was published by Slow Trains Literary Journal and can be found here.

To celebrate the publication of Tracks, Atticus Books shared “The Silences” on their website too.
