Spring Lake fiction writer Larry
Menlove is elated to have received news that he has won the top award
for fiction writing in the short story category in the Utah Original
Writing Competition. His prize-winning story is “Petey
Immigrates North, Then Moves West.”
His short story collection “The Fur or Feathers, the Teeth or
Venom” was an honorable mention last year in the short story
collection category. Larry has been submitting to the
competition for twenty years. “Last year they kind of cracked
the door with the chain still latched and let me see inside a bit.
This year they opened it up and let me walk right in and sit down!”
Larry tells us.
Competition judge and accomplished
fiction writer Darrell Spencer compares Larry’s story favorably to
Cormac McCarthy’s fiction or a Coen brothers’ film.
Larry lives in Spring Lake with his
family, wife, Chautel. Their children are Clint, Conner, Andy,
Celeste, and Lexie.
