Today I had the pleasure of reading J. Edward Kruft's story "The Big Balloon," followed by a wide-ranging conversation with Joe about MFA programs, character motivation, and the #FlashFiction format. 

"The Big Balloon" appeared in the June 2020 issue of Door is a Jar Magazine and you can find it on his website.

J. Edward  Kruft received his MFA in fiction writing from Brooklyn College, and has  been a Best Small Fictions nominee. His stories have appeared in Jellyfish Review, MoonPark Review and Typehouse Literary Magazine, among others. He is a Virgo, and as such, while working at a storied  fast food chain, he made an impassioned but reasoned argument against  polyester uniforms given their proximity to the fry machine. He was  fired. Originally from the very west of Washington  state, he now lives in the very west of Queens, NY and Sullivan County,  NY with his husband, Mike, and their adopted Siberian Husky, Sasha.
