November 28, 2024 – Exotic – “The Exotic Prince”

VOvember 28th: “Exotic” is today’s prompt for my VOvember time behind the mic, and it led me to a short story and a fascinating tidbit. The short story is “An Exotic Prince” and the fascinating tidbit is that while it is attributed to Guy de Maupassant, apparently that is not true and that more than 60 short stories in the early 1900s were attributed to him but aren’t now believed to have actually ever been written by him — not that he was passing off someone else’s work as his own, but rather some other reason which seems to still be a bit of a mystery. Literary trivia for you. https://literature.stackexchange.com/questions/14259/which-short-stories-are-falsely-attributed-to-guy-de-maupassant-and-why #VOvember #VOvember2024 #Voiceover
