Failbetter Novella Winner Online
Los Angeles writer Lou Mathews was the winner of Failbetter‘s Tenth Anniversary Novella Contest for his work The Irish Sextet: “the heartrending, ultimately redemptive story of a dedicated LA priest whose life is nearly wrecked when he stands up to the Church’s efforts to sweep its pedophilia scandal under the rug.”
Failbetter is running Sextet in serial form on their site — the first two installments, “An Education” and “Corporal Punishment,” are live now, with the other five coming, about one a month, over the course of the winter.
