What the Gramophone Listener Wants to Hear (A Short Story) (Kindle Single)

Gabrielle Hovendon

4.5/5 ( ratings)

This story was originally published in Day One, a weekly literary journal dedicated to short fiction and poetry from emerging writers.She has been stuck with the filmmaker’s version of writer’s block for so long that it has become her default setting. Alone in her Orlando home, unable to work, she can’t help but wonder if the feeling of frustration is her new baseline. Has this inertia completely consumed her personality and permanently dimmed her future?Then the congratulatory letter arrives. She has received a grant to make a new documentary—one for which she has absolutely no enthusiasm—and so she moves across the country to the heart of the Rust Belt. There, while attempting to find the will to work, she is shocked to encounter her personal hero, the brilliant and reclusive composer Norma Doomsday. As she gets to know the aging Doomsday, the filmmaker is forced to reconsider her ideas about what it means to make art and to live as an artist.
