Someone Figures It All Out
The traffic lights, the coffee perfectly hot, the engine of my car gliding along in the morning,
the buttons holding my blouse together, the soles of my shoes solid.
The Literary A-ha: Conversation w/ Ilya Lyashevsky
Ilya Lyashevsky, whose short story At the Seaside is featured in Epiphany’s Fall/ Winter 2011-2012 issue, didn’t reach consciousness until he was twenty-five.
Two Novels, Fat and Thin: Keith Gessen’s “A Terrible County” and Ryan Chapman’s “Riots I Have Known”
To further the comparison between the two texts, certain thematic valences notwithstanding, Chapman’s debut is an all but negative image of Gessen’s sophomore effort—disjunctive where Gessen’s narrative is straight ahead; knowing and bawdy and essentially unconcerned with portraying human relationships at any great length.
