Julie Showalter: Unpublished Writings1
In yesterday’s search for Julie’s thoughts about climbing Mount Kuchumaa , I found one of her short stories, Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness, that I had not previously read.
Consequently, if you are the cynical sort who find the sexual shenanigans that erupt in academia between faculty and students2 more often an occasion for snickers than a cause for pity (and I am), you have a treat awaiting this Sunday morning.

Footnotes
- Julie Showalter was my much-beloved, fiercely smart, extraordinarily sexy wife, who died in 1999 from cancer diagnosed the week of our wedding nearly 20 years earlier. She was also a prize-winning writer. This blog includes many other posts about her and the unlikely but true story of our romance (See Julie FAQ) as well as several of her short stories and other pieces. Most of Julie’s fully edited and buffed literary efforts are already available under the heading, Julie’s Writings, in “Categories.” Unpublished Julie is a group of pieces I’ve found on her computer or in her office that range from workshop exercises to story fragments to projects set aside to finish at a later day to work that appears, at least to me, to be fully as polished and effective as her published stories.↩
- Some readers familiar with Julie’s history may think that there are certain parallels between this story and a relationship in Julie’s life. I must inform you, however, that I am confident that such suppositions are absolutely accurate.↩
