Idaho
Emily RuskovichJulia BerickPicked for @parisreview: “The stove was etched with a MADE IN BELGIUM label, but it said America to me, like Emily Ruskovich’s Idaho did: both anesthetizing in their beauty, dangerous and commonplace.” https://t.co/np6LhSGOaF

Rendang
Will HarrisJulia BerickPicked @parisreview: Will Harris (@soshunetwork)’s RENDANG ...nimble irreverence. His play (in the lines, in the margins, in the points of view) brings a kind of thrill more like Zadie Smith’s handling of E. M. Forster than a jazz musician’s bravado riff. https://t.co/9EvrkdlYtv https://t.co/NEXzf5Pm1E
