Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Some of the best short-short fiction I've read recently has been that of the Heartbroke Daily, the stories of the love affairs of (fictional) Knox Dupree, who "fall[s] in love too easily" and "as a result [...] suffer[s] from near constant heartbreak." Start from the beginning and work forward. (via Presurfer)

Honestly, the poignant life-reflection short-short format reminds me a little bit of Einstein's Dreams, for those who are familiar with and liked that.

This is essentialy the same idea as Dan Rhodes' collection, Anthropology; anecdotes of failed relationships with surreal women.

I think Rhodes' are perhaps a bit wittier.

This stuff reminds me of former Mefite Dobbs' non-fiction stuff. The latest entry is even similar to one he wrote a while ago about a girl who posed naked for him while he was blocked writing a screenplay. (Disclosure: I know him in real life and occasionally dog sit for him.)
