The Mischief Animal – September/October 2022

For some reason–for many, many, many, many years–I saved a short story from The New Yorker magazine that ran in October 1989. I say “for some reason” because I remember really liking this story, even reading it more than once, and when I read it again the other day my thought was Huh? What the hell did I like so much about this story? The title is “Berard’s Luck,” and it was written by Tom Chiarella, who is a creative writing professor at DePauw University in Indiana, and also fiction editor and a frequent contributor to Esquire magazine.
