"How do we write toward the unspeakable, and what does it mean to do so ethically?"

Ellana Basada (@eebeebeebeebeeb) writes about our relationship to violence, ambiguity, and more through her analysis of Melchor & Lispector in "The Ethics of Ambiguity."

Zoe Dubno’s “Happiness and Love” and Vincenzo Latronico’s “Perfection” are, in a sense, remakes of older novels. @a_nathanwest writes on the literary redo.

Had lots of fun reviewing Olivia Kan-Sperling's Little Pink Book for @Review31

[Review 31 @Review31]

"Little Pink Book doesn’t just perform dandyism; it participates in what Fredric Jameson famously called pastiche: a ‘blank parody’ that imitates style without satirical intent or critical edge."
