The Week

Joanna Ruocco

Straddling the zone between fantasy and imagination, between fiction and essay, The Week presents models of minds shaped by the twenty-first 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 expression.
