While Glaspell’s frequently performed 1916 play Trifles as literary
advocacy conveys a valid message within its historical period, and raises
issues regarding the legal system, it does so at the cost of casting men as
being arrogant, foolish, and bound to a certain narrow set of interests, a negative
stereotype with potential to create its own injustice.

Jonathan T. Barron takes his new bride Isobel, a former police officer, and her toddler Scotty for a month long "honey and moon" at a mysterious stone house on the remote, frozen east coast of Greenland. The house, designed in trapezoids and possibly built before the first Europeans arrived, isn't the only mystery however, because the elderly caretaker's wife babbles on and on about space ships... in Greenlandic. Fourth in the JTB short story series, "Greenlandic Windows" at about 11,000 words, received an Honorable Mention in a 2016 Writers of the Future Contest. (Update 10/22/16: Read "GW" HERE.)
