Sonny's Blues by James Baldwin (pdf)
He and his boys up there were keeping it new, at the risk of ruin, destruction, madness, and death, in order to find new ways to make us listen. For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn’t any other tale to tell, it’s the only light we’ve got in all this darkness.
East on Houston by Emily Carter (New York Times Archives)
There was this one summer that began in June and ended quite some time later, when I could hear the voices of men in traffic, while I was walking east on Houston.
A Love Story by Samantha Hunt (The New Yorker)
Now, instead of sex with my husband, I spend my nights imagining dangerous scenarios involving our children. It’s less fun.
A Real Doll by AM Homes (The Barcelona Review)
I popped her whole head into my mouth, and Barbie's hair separated into single strands like Christmas tinsel and caught in my throat nearly choking me.
Valley of the Girls by Kelly Link (Subterranean Press)
That was the time all of us showed up in this gear I found online. Red rubber, plenty of pointy stuff, chains and leather, dildos and codpieces, vampire teeth and plastinated viscera. [...] I had an inadequately sedated fruit bat caged up in my pompadour. So how could she not look at me?
