Something Wicked This Way Comes
My love affair with monsters can be traced to my eccentric childhood, of course.
An Interview with Olga Zilberbourg
I am very interested in writing about those moments when people judge each other, exploring how people’s judgments of others reflect on their own character and understanding.
Making Faust Great Again
I began reading Thomas Mann’s Doctor Faustus: The Life of the German Composer Adrian Leverkühn, as Told by a Friend (1947), in mid-2016, casually. I’d bought the book by mistake several years prior, thinking it was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s version—that is, the seminal German Faust. I am not the first to have confused the two authors.
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.”
