Fiction: Daleth Hall, Ophelia's Landlord

The story Ophelia's Landlord by author Daleth Hall is read by actor Kelly AuCoin .



Daleth Hall holds a University of Michigan MFA in fiction, which is her true love, and a law degree, which she went back for after having the mind-blowing realization that an MFA in fiction does not in fact pay the rent. Her novella The Morris Dancing Blues appeared in Talon Magazine in 2010, and her fiction and poetry have been in Earth's Daughters, NYC Big City Lit, The Strange Fruit and elsewhere. She has lived in London and San Francisco, over a Shakespeare & Co. bookstore in Paris, and, briefly, as an illegal immigrant in a tent outside Dijon, France. After seven years in Europe, she moved to Pittsburgh, where she now lives and practices law. She is currently revising her first novel, Blue Guitar.
