CARTER AND THE KID Fiction by Stuart Nadler “Carter could take a punch, but for show, he knew how to bite the inside of his cheek, draw blood, and with the right amount of drama and grit, spit out a wet crimson stream onto the judge’s table. It helped sell the crowd if they thought the fight was real.” In the fourth installment in our series of fiction by never-before-published authors, two boxers, play-fighting to crowds across the country, find true struggle off the mats. Stuart Nadler holds a Truman Capote Fellowship at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where he is pursuing his master’s degree. “Carter and the Kid” is his first published story.
