In this episode, we discuss "Jeffty is Five" by Harlan Ellison. What can we learn from this nostalgic story? How does the ending wrap up the arc of the story? How can we tell which character the story is meant to change? What does it mean to suspend disbelief? How do we write a story about kids that's for adults?

Why Is This Good? is a podcast from the Naples Writers' Workshop in which we read successful stories and ask "Why is this good?"
Through our discussion, we hope to discover useful things to say about how fiction works, the craft of writing, and literary art. We try to find lessons for our own writing by closely examining well-written stories, and we hope to share some of those lessons with our audience.
Why is This Good? is produced in Naples, Florida by the Naples Writers' Workshop.
