Family in the Foreign World
Suada stood in her curlers at the kitchen table and cut with scissors into a cardboard box. Her brother, who had remained with his family in Norway even after the war had ended, had sent her a package for her birthday. She ripped the last bit of the tape with her fingers and opened the flaps.
Excerpt from “The Call-Out”
She grins to herself, then, since they friended
each other at some point during that night,
she opens messenger and starts to write
a message: “Hi. It’s been a while
but I’d still like to be your friend.”
A Language All Its Own: The Fiction of Gary Lutz
There are few if any American writers who can vocalize the crushing despair of late capitalist malaise in a mere five sentences.
Upstate Dispatch: Ye Olde Paint Smithy
I laugh too hard, for too long. Maybe owing to the fumes. Or perhaps owing to what my lawyer said. That this lawsuit could go for up to a year. Or longer even.
Lynn Steger Strong on Bette Howland: Stories Straight from Life
Too many stories teach us, my friend said to me the other day as we walked aimlessly around the city, that we’re all supposed to be heroes of our lives. He blamed capitalism. Perhaps too easy a foil in 2019.
