Sometimes the very hard work you do will go unseen and unacknowledged. Do the work anyway.

We at the Review mourn the loss of Alice Munro (1931–2024). In memory of her life and work, we’ve unlocked her Art of Fiction interview from our archive.

I haven't read much Alice Munro, but what I have read is exquisite and I'll never forget how a male editor of the NYTBR once described her work as "women's fiction" in an episode of their podcast.

if you're in New Orleans this weekend, I'll be a part of a panel/workshop that should especially be of interest to those writers who are writing something that lives in between fiction/CNF and poetry. with me will be Rone Shavers & @_robarnold to discuss some different approaches

Issue 22.2 of @HarpurPalate is up! The nonfiction in this issue is really close to my heart! I recommend starting with @_robarnold's essay "Port of Angels." The painful truths of how close & how far away we really are from people we love struck me most. buff.ly/49nS0Qa
