Ottessa Moshfegh presents: ‘My Year of Rest and Relaxation,’ a clinically proven cure to ennui

Mike Donovan | Wednesday, August 29, 2018

Death, life’s only fixity, is also its only natural sweetener (certified 100 percent organic), and as such, its stoic presence illuminates all the feeble estuaries — love, fear or, as Roland Barthes writes, “events, setbacks, annoyances” — flowing around its immovable presence. Death turns these meager rivers into juice and soda, flavored with granules of

Lessons from Harvey

Kelli Smith | Tuesday, March 27, 2018

For spring break, I traveled to Houston with my journalism class to report on the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. As a native Texan, I’d been to Houston before but hadn’t seen the city since well before Harvey hit. As soon as we arrived, it was clear to me this wouldn’t be anything like my past
