In this episode, we discuss "Goodbye and Good Luck" by Grace Paley. How can a strong character voice drive a story even without a complex plot? Can a character sketch or portrait of an attitude be a complete and fulfilling story? How can we inform the first person narration by considering the occasion of the telling?

Why Is This Good? is a podcast from the Naples Writers' Workshop in which we read successful stories and ask "Why is this good?"
Through our discussion, we hope to discover useful things to say about how fiction works, the craft of writing, and literary art. We try to find lessons for our own writing by closely examining well-written stories, and we hope to share some of those lessons with our audience.
Why is This Good? is produced in Naples, Florida by the Naples Writers' Workshop.
