Classically Inspired Short Stories Follow us: We publish classically inspired short stories on a monthly basis.* Doric Literary is a bare-bones fiction site that takes its name from the oldest order of Greek architecture. Known for simple and unadorned but highly functional and enduring forms, a Doric temple perfectly represents what we look for in a short story: a solid foundation or beginning, soaring columns or plotlines that lead directly to a satisfying and beautiful conclusion that still has impact and relevance in the modern world. By “classically inspired” we mean that the more it reads like something from Flannery O’Connor or Katherine Mansfield, the better. Contemporary settings are fine: think of stories like “Peach Cobler” by Deesha Philyaw or “Sexy Motherfucker’s Mom” by Maureen Langloss.
