Eight Thousand Words

I have a long article in the Fall issue of the Virginia Quarterly Review.

From beginning to end, this piece was tough on me. The phrase 'the torments of the damned' comes to mind. But it's out and I'm pretty happy with it. Of course, I think it should be twenty thousand words.

Many thanks to Bill Wasik for all his help and to Ted Genoways for giving it a home.
