Earlier this week, the century-old literary journal North Dakota Quarterly published combined issue 3 & 4 of their 86th volume. This 277-page print tome included Storey Clayton’s latest Uber nonfiction piece, “Jorgia Wants a Chapter.” This is the story of a drive home from one of New Orleans’ infamous college bars with a rider who discovers Storey is writing a book and asks to be in it.
The journal can be purchased here for $23. Update: Five days after this was initially posted, NDQ featured “Jorgia Wants a Chapter” on their website, where you can read it in full! This is Storey’s 14th publication in the last 14 months and the 12th to be an excerpt from Driving for U: Behind the Wheel of a New Orleans Uber.
North Dakota Quarterly was first published in 1910 and recently announced a publishing partnership with the University of Nebraska Press.
Many thanks to Sheila Liming and Bill Caraher for selecting and editing this piece!
