I have been subconsciously working on this book for twelve years and now I’m writing it!!!! my dream book!!!!
Being born to parents who would do this will itself increase your risk of depression
Need a word for the giddiness that people feel in the face of terrifying news, the near-joy & perverse-relief at the prospect of Shit Hitting the Fan. We are so desensitized from the physical reality of what may be coming that our bodies won't calibrate to really feel the fear.
That numb listlessness you feel is the necrosis of your ability to sit with complexity & strangeness, to engage with anything ambiguous, dense, unstructured, or resistant. You’ll miss it when it’s gone, but you won’t be able to name it exactly. When you try, you’ll just sputter.

Exceptional. Everyone should be talking about this one. Echoes of Didion, Cusk, Halliday, Roth, Powers…

The White Review was vital. This is a huge loss
It is with great regret that we announce that The White Review is going on a hiatus and ceasing its day-to-day publishing for an indefinite period. Full statement here: shorturl.at/gkSW6

"By draping her stories in the language and atmosphere of the surreal, Ma challenges us to try our hand at the lost art of interpretation." - @jmschaff on BLISS MONTAGE by Whiting winner Ling Ma for @thenation buff.ly/3XIeExY
