I’m thrilled to have my story “Sustain” in the Summer 2024 issue of Ploughshares, guest-edited by Rebecca Makkai, which is available in the print/digital editions here: https://pshares.org/product/summer-24/. The issue also features stories by Ramona Ausubel, Joy Baglio, Peter Mountford, and many more.
absolutely loved your story! so fresh. funny. sharp. witty. so compassionate and perceptive. sentences that sing. and so economical on a narrative level. really lit me up reading this (twice!)– thanks for this gem. man, this is short fiction at its best, most playful, most inspiring!
