The In-Between: An Interview with Natalie Bakopoulos

by Jennifer Solheim

…expressed in another—the way the feelings and ideas are articulated might simply come together differently, or have varieties of cultural weight. Aleksandar Hemon writes in My Parents: An Introduction: The words might have a different value or interpretive aura, but there is always more than enough overlapping not to dismiss the process of translation, which is essential not only to the project of literature, but to the project of humanity. Yet i…

Notes on the Peripheral Narrator

by Tyler McAndrew

…nited States. She is altogether ill-equipped to console this adult man who comes from a completely different part of the world. The best she can do is save his gifts of candy for when she goes to bed and then hold them in her mouth—a small and private ritual that she performs as a sort of prayer for Mr. Pirzada’s family. In her helplessness, the narrator even begins to take on some of Mr. Pirzada’s demureness. When the narrator’s friend from schoo…

You and I Know, Order Is Everything

by Peter Turchi

…or Mavis Gallant. This, too, is something we try to help our students overcome—the resistance to engaging with new ways of conveying information through language, which is to say new—and so difficult, at least initially–ways of thinking.

The Purpose of Art: An Interview with Elise Blackwell

by Alan Heathcock

…al novel about a great flood to a drama about music and loss. Now with her latest, her fifth novel, Blackwell has penned The Lower Quarter (Unbridled Books), a southern-gothic-meets-literary-noir, a potent stew of crime and art in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, a book I believe is Blackwell’s finest. In my mind, Elise Blackwell is a bit of a rebel and represents a rare kind of freedom, an artist who goes wherever she wants, who doesn’t abide a par…

Jane Smiley vs New York writing scene

by Anne Stameshkin

…ich variety of experience — is a good one, and even though it’s far from a new complaint, it doesn’t often get discussed in such a public forum. BUT it’s odd that she chose to call out Updike, of all writers, for this reason–both because he so recently died and because he was decidedly not a New Yorker. Just a few weeks ago there were at least several articles devoted to why Updike didn’t live in New York (beyond a very brief stint here) and never…

What Fiction Provides: An Interview with Aravind Adiga

by Lee Thomas

…erican filmmaker, who has made several films about working class people in New York, and has now won a name for himself in the indie film scene. The New York Times Sunday magazine ran a long story featuring him and others, in a story called “Neo-Neo-Realism.” We were undergraduates together at Columbia. Then I went to Oxford for my M.Phil and he left for Iran; I returned to America in 2000 and met him again. His work has been a huge influence on m…
