Use our A-Z index to explore a few themes:
Taking a Turn in the Garden State
“I wondered if I was the one who had taken a funny turn. One can take a turn for the worse or the better. But taking a “funny turn” is ambiguous and enigmatic. I wondered what the original Italian phrasing was for this.”
Romance Novel
“In that moment, he looked just like a boy to Irma. Head tilted down, palm turned out and facing her. She wanted to scoop his head between her hands.”
Enemy of Man
“It's hot here. I don't get high anymore; I don't need to. The perpetual heat and the laziness do about the same; out here every afternoon on the tower, feet dangled over the edge, in the haze, and that column of smoke out there in the distance, that's Perú already.”
Field Guide
“By noon, we knew the sun was through with us
and our small adventure. Even the bloodwort,
the tall red ferns, and the L-O-V-E scored
in black paint below the overpass could tell
we knew nothing of them.”
“The Time to Make Money From Your Secrets Has Arrived at Last”: An Interview with Jeanne Thornton
“What happens when you narrativize something that has that initiatory burden of transness, you take these steps to bring that narrative into actuality—to bring the inside outside.”
My Vanishing Friend
“She walks into McDonald’s at 1:00 p.m. She carries two duffel bags and an empty coffee cup as if hoping for a refill. No one knows why, but she comes every day like clockwork.”
