Content Shout-Out: Alexandros Orphanides

I rarely get the chance to write about people close to me but wanted to take a moment to finally do so.

My high school friend and colleague Alexandros Orphanides recently published a short fiction piece on Catapult, which I found to be extremely well-written.

What makes this piece so vivid is the fact that we both rode the trains pretty frequently throughout high school. I’m not sure who his inspiration was for Jonny, but I have my guesses. In any event, if you have 15 minutes and enjoy The New Yorker style vignette writing, take a moment to check out my friends piece.
