    So as you can probably tell from my Twitter bio, I was recently tapped as Literature Editor at and curated the fiction in the latest issue, which just dropped. I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the two amazing pieces we picked & their authors. (THREAD)

  2. Ok so John King deadass just pointed at a screen of Iowa with no data on it — empty districts, 0% for all candidates — and said “this is a stunner folks, it’s a real stunner.” Then they cut to commercials.

  3. Iowa coverage this year is so much worse than it was ten years ago. Presumably, all the money to pay reporters to do man on the street interviews and local news stories based in rural areas got funneled into this opening montage — maybe the most obscene thing I’ve ever seen?

    I want all of you to know that during Shakira’s performance, when they were dancing to a guitar instrumental after Waka Waka, that was Congolese music! Congolese music is very popular in Colombia.

    Nell Zink’s DOXOLOGY () is the rare book about urban cognoscenti in which the main characters—rock stars, scenesters, and even DC political consultants—come off as lovable rather than arrogant, writes.

    The great American novel doesn’t know it’s the great American novel until it’s been out almost a hundred years and the woman or man who wrote it is dead. Who cares about the great American novel while we’re in the golden age of TV?

  14. When literature is political, it’s because life is political, and it renders politics with all the ambiguity and frailty with which we have to live. But it’s also something irreducible to the political — an individual’s singular experience of the life they share with others.

  15. It's no coincidence that our first stab should appear in the same issue as 's piece on the Hatred of Literature, which should be read, I think, as a protest against today's all-too-common reduction of literature to political pamphleteering.

  16. In my view, the Literature section should uphold a certain tradition of art, one increasingly in danger of being lost, which sees it as a primary way human beings create and make sense of their social world -- and takes it as *seriously* as philosophy, science, or even politics.

  17. But make no mistake: this isn’t some dreary proletarian novel from the 30s, rigid prose stamping class consciousness into your brain. The story’s broad-humored tone allows it to explore various aspects of working-class life as it actually is: hard, funny, surreal, awe-inspiring.

  18. Smith’s memoir or autofiction — we’ll let you decide which — takes as its focus the industrial underbelly of capitalism that’s often left out of fiction today. His laconic, punchy paragraphs aren’t just entertaining, but come to convey the day-in day-out rhythms of working life.

  19. Our second story is "Safety Meeting," an excerpt from Work () by New Jersey-based writer . It follows its narrator's stream of memories -- by turns hilarious & touching -- from a string of odd blue-collar jobs & his childhood.

  20. They meet on New Year’s, walking along the street. Their brief, frank affair frames the story, and will leave them both changed. We observe from a distance, aided by the reports of the police (who have them mysteriously under surveillance) and their revelations to one another.

  21. The titular pair are old pensioners. Their bodies are broken with age, as the story describes in grotesque loving detail. But they’re broken in other ways too, which seem to have to do with the tragic past of their families & country — two loners lost at a century’s close.
