Yes, we here are FWR are hardworking editors bringing you the best reviews, interviews, and essays we can find—but we’re also writers ourselves. So we’re happy to share that Celeste Ng, our own editor-at-large (and longtime blog editor) has a story up on Five Chapters.
If you’re not familiar with Five Chapters, they’re a great online journal publishing one story each week, in five parts—a little throwback to the old days of serial literature. Celeste’s story, “The Kind of Man,” features a troubled marriage, a meddling father-in-law, a nine-year-old with an unfortunate crush, and… Dick Cheney? Don’t worry: the entire story is now available to read online in a single shot.

- Michael Byers’ “Darver’s Big Idea“
- Margaret Lazarus Dean’s “Lives of the Great Baristas“
- Valerie Laken’s “Scavengers“

- Laura van den Berg’s “Here Is Your Weather“
But really, it’s hard to go wrong in this well-curated collection.
