Modern Life Calls for a Medieval Plague in “The Dance and the Fire” - Electric Literature

The strange fate of translated books is to be published multiple times and for multiple audiences—sometimes years after their initial publication—as though for the first time. Often, this shift in context is obvious, sometimes it’s jarring, but occasionally I read an English translation and struggle to imagine the book being written at any other time but now. It’s that vital, that fluent, that present. The Dance and the Fire by Daniel Saldaña Pa…Read Article

The Gazan Tunnel Takes Poetic Form in “TERROR COUNTER” - Los Angeles Weekly Times

The imperative to “BE TUNNEL” stays with me, long after putting down Fargo Nissim Tbakhi’s debut collection of poems, TERROR COUNTER. I re-read the book again and again. I start to carry it around. The poem, Fargo writes, “is a space to rehearse for the future.” Within these poems are a set of instructions for being human as praxis and for the futures that are made possible by living outside colonial imaginaries. In the unnaming. In the unknowni…Palestine · Palestine See the Story

7 Books That Break the Confines of Plot - Electric Literature

I am always suspicious when novels are described as “plotless.” I am not suspicious of the novels themselves, but rather the people who use the word. My suspicion, I suppose, stems from the novels in question being described apophatically—in terms of what they aren’t. It always seems to be a negatory framing of a novel to say it “has no plot.” What does it have? On more than one occasion I have seen the word used derisively, as though “plotlessn…Read Article

8 Novels About Class and Racial Tensions in the Suburbs - Los Angeles Weekly Times

Think of “the suburbs” and multiple images come to mind. Victorian homes on tree-lined streets. Postwar tract housing for what was once the growing middle class. There are the suburbs of strivers, who dream of a white picket fence and a yard of one’s own. And the suburbs of the super rich, who dream of luxury within commuting distance to high-powered jobs. For many people, the suburbs represent safety, security, and square footage. But any encla…Los Angeles, California · Los Angeles See the Story

In "Mendell Station," a Postal Worker Sorts Through Mail and Grief - Electric Literature

J. B. Hwang’s debut novel, Mendell Station, is a gorgeous book about grieving one step at a time. Like many of my favorite works, it invites an intimate conversation between writer and reader. Miriam has recently lost her best friend, Esther, in a tragic accident and consequently lost her faith in God; years ago, she lost her father. She tells her story, we sense, not to preserve these deep connections, but as a way to seek them. Her crisis of f…San Francisco, California · San Francisco Read Article

My Drag Mother Was the Center of Our Family’s Orbit - Electric Literature

Faces, Beautiful by Leah MellTuesdays were drag nights at Chasers: “Where the happy people party!” And by the fall of 2018, we were all piling into this gay club behind the Dominos’ dumpster at least twice a week with a pound of makeup on our faces. The stage was sticky, the floors stickier. The scent of cheap fruity vodka hung in the air. The owner kept promising she would stop keeping all the cash in the ceiling tiles and fix the place up, but…Charlotte, North Carolina · Charlotte Read Article

Librarians Recommend 8 Books that Changed the Shape of Politics and Reading in America - Electric Literature

Over the past couple of years, there’s been an inordinate amount of controversy about books. Coordinated and effective efforts have removed books about minorities and minority histories from school and public library shelves across the country. The numbers are scary: 9,012 books were challenged in 2023 alone, according to the American Library Association. In response to this rise in censorship and outright bans, Brooklyn Public Library launched …Gaza · Gaza Read Article
