blast of a new story from Catherine Bisley!

"As the life of the dildo expanded, Devon’s own identity narrowed. Now commonly known as The Dildo Guy, he wondered if there were other Dildo People. He hadn’t been the only one on the beach that evening."

📣 [NEW ISSUE]

Our new issue, TMR 39 • BURN IT ALL DOWN, is now live!

TMR Senior Editor, Lina Mounzer (@warghetti) explains our editor’s choice for this month’s theme in the editorial: “all felt was so profound, so combustive, it amounted to a rejection of the entire world, the one where ‘such a crime should exist.’ The only thing to do is to burn it all down.”

For the contributors to We Are All Armenian: Voices From the Diaspora, the act of writing creates more than pieces of writing: it affirms contested histories and proclaims the survival of a people. Sean Casey reviews. https://t.co/rnpuacgT7Z
