A Small Key Opens Big Doors -- a Peace Corps Anthology To Celebrate Its 50th Anniversary

From the heart of Eurasia, this anthology of 40 stories was edited by Jay Chen and published in 2011 as part of a series covering the globe to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the US Peace Corps. 

Some of the stories reach back to early Peace Corps years in Iran and Turkey. Others engage with the newness of democratic freedoms, drawing back the curtain on old suspicions.

My contribution, Boss Visa, fits in this latter categroy. It takes place in Ukraine in 1993, and was originally published in The Istanbul Review.

It later appeared in a slightly different form in the collection, Off To The Next Wherever. https://www.fomitepress.com/off-to-the-next-wherever.html
