Yes!

Fiction. Literary Nonfiction. Women's Studies. Art. THE WEEK presents models of minds shaped by the 21st century American realities that they also construct. The stories are unconventional in their arcs and uses of characterization, and in their foregrounding of the instabilities in representational practices; they obsess over life and death, female sexuality and family, the economy and language and try out various forms inadequate to their figuration/expression.

“The Week” by Joanna Ruocco was helpful when I was upset re: the obliqueness of my own prose. Every sentence is a knot of sound and poetry, like Beckett. I could not read it passively, which infuriated me. As romcoms teach us, love and hate are sisters https://t.co/cgr05mIF2I
