I’ve published over 50 stories in various literary journals.
Additionally, I’ve released two collections of short stories
through UL Press, with a third collection on the way.

“Duck Thief and Other Stories is a stunning collection by a fine new voice in Southern literature. David Langlinais comes from that great tradition of American storytellers that gave us Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, and Richard Ford. The people who populate his stories are our friends and neighbors, and they live, work, and play where we do. His language is spare and unpretentious, and the rhythms of his prose lead us from moments of simple beauty to profound revelation. Haunting, compassionate, heart-breaking...These are some of the best stories I've read in a long time.”

“What Happened to All the Dogs? propels the reader through tales of loss and redemption, stories permeated with honesty, humor and humidity. As with his debut collection, Duck Thief and Other Stories, three-time Pushcart Prize-nominated author David Langlinais pulls back the curtain on the lives of everyday people coping with challenges as heavy as summer air hanging thick over a Louisiana bayou. Langlinais works the same literary vein as short story writers Tim Gautreaux and Chris Offutt by weaving his tales with an engaging, authentic voice that’s refreshingly candid and straightforward.”
