Fiction Readings by Sue Miller and Lan Samantha Chang Excerpt from The World Below, a novel in progress. Bryce Sanatorium still stands high on its hill in almost the exact center of Maine, though it has changed its function, and even its appearance, over and over through the years. The motley array of outbuildings is long gone, and the jerry-rigged upstairs porches, on one of which my grandmother lay nearly motionless for a full month, have been torn off. In fact, the old shingle building may look now very much the way it did at the turn of the century, before the sanatorium boom, when it was a private female seminary, owned and run by the very Christian, very virtuous, Misses Bryce. Her short stories have been published in magazines, literary journals, and anthologies.
