One of the first NOON Annual stories I ever read. NOON published my first stories and because of that, introduced me to Mulcahy’s writing. I can’t thank Diane Williams enough for publishing me that first time and for, and so, putting Greg Mulcahy’s work in front of me. Here, in ‘Bobby Cigarette’, a narrator builds a shrine to losertown. Mulcahy’s stories are always funny and frustrated. He’s completely underread, Mulcahy’s one of the best.

First published in NOON Annual, ed. Diane Williams, in 2017
