The Proxy Marriage
Maile Meloy has a new short in the May 21st issue of the New Yorker, called “The Proxy Marriage.” New Yorker fiction is often ambivalent, emotionally stunted, or downright bleak. (I’m looking at you, Annie Proulx’s “Tits-up In A Ditch.”) … Continue reading

Critically important aeronautical distinction
I’m late to the Memetrain, as usual, but I couldn’t leave this one alone: So there, Peppy. Pedantry: winning!
