by Anne Stameshkin

…long utterly to that character’s vocabulary and experience. Here’s another example from Wood (p. 14), from Henry James’s What Maisie Knew; the third-person narration stays close to a little girl’s (Maisie’s) point of view as she recalls going with her governess, Mrs. Wix, to visit the cemetery where the woman’s dead daughter is buried: “Mrs. Wix was as safe as Clara Matilda, who was in heaven and yet, embarrassingly, also in Kensal Green, where th…

by Anne Stameshkin

…l in love with last year? Which were delicious flings and which, life-long companions? Comment and let us know! Novels We Loved Sag Harbor was one of our contributors’ favorite novels.

by Celeste Ng

by Lauren Hall

…know, Parent/Teacher night, or getting my daughter her flu shot – which in New York becomes a Herculean task – mean that I absolutely can’t get to it. But I burn with the desire. I literally burn with the desire. I would go crazy if three days in a row went by where I couldn’t write. And that almost never happens. We own a house in Mexico in the mountains of San Miguel de Allende, which is a beautiful, beautiful town. We go there a few times a yea…

by Celeste Ng

…women can be both sexy and smart. The 32 60-second spots currently on the website are meant to run like ads, with longer episodes in the works.
