For the September issue of The Atlantic, I reviewed Sally Rooney’s new novel, Beautiful World, Where Are You.

“Massachusetts,” online
“Massachusetts,” my new short story in the Yale Review, is now available online.
A new short story in “The Yale Review”
A new short story of mine, “Massachusetts,” is published in the spring 2021 issue of The Yale Review. The story is about how a group of children are shaped by two teachers whose styles of being are incommensurate. It’s a tiny bit allegorical, but realist enough that you might not notice.
If you’d like to read it, you can get just the spring 2021 issue of The Yale Review for $15, or you can get a year’s subscription (four issues) for $44, along with a coupon for 50% off some of Yale University Press’s books.
“The Remainder,” in print
Thrilled to see “The Remainder,” a new short story of mine, in the latest issue of the literary journal n+1. I’m a subscriber, and it arrived in the mail yesterday. Please check it out!
The story is a retelling of Yasunari Kawabata’s novel Snow Country, but gay, and at the end of the world. For the record, I wrote it about a year ago, and had no idea, while writing it, that respiratory pandemics would become a part of the background of daily life so soon.
New story drops today
New story drops today: n+1 is publishing “The Remainder” online. The story will appear in print in the magazine’s 38th issue, “Death Wish.”
