Dear Readers,
I’m honored to present new fiction by five outstanding contemporary authors. This issue features the "lost" opening chapter of Victor LaValle's forthcoming novel, Dolan Morgan’s absurdist take on a celebrity method actor’s extreme transformations, Kirstin Valdez Quade's heartrending tale of an aggrieved sister coping with a deadbeat brother, Jai Chakrabarti's searing story of Indian families mourning lost children; and Sanderia Faye's multilayered depiction of an evangelical minister's defiant wife. My sincere thanks to these writers. I hope you share my enthusiasm for their excellent work.
