en route [feature]
By Michelle Bi | November 12In another life, I never moved away from Illinois. I spend summers laying out picnic blankets in the fenceless backyard that we share with eight of our neighbors.

the mind’s eye [A&C]
By Ishan Khurana | November 12Consider, for a second, the value of forcible constraint: the weight of the absent “e” in Georges Perec’s lipogram A Void, or the mysterious vividness of the paper cutouts Henri Matisse made when illness prevented him from painting.

on identity and the unfamiliar [lifestyle]

picture a raven with a kodak [A&C]
By Sasha Gordon | November 5Fine! Fine. You got me, okay? I said all week that I wasn’t going to write a piece that started with two lines from a song that unexpectedly has deep and personal relevance to me, cut to some narrative, cut back to two lines from later in the song, rinse and repeat.

that three-week minecraft phase [A&C]
By Ann Gray Golpira | November 5During your young adulthood, the only thing more inevitable than acne is the three-week Minecraft-playing phase you’ll undergo at least once per year. For me, the game once again infiltrated my computer following the release of the 1.21 update this past June—the internal peace I gain from mining ...

last dance [lifestyle]
By Elaine Rand | November 5On January 28, the thought hit me. Or rather, I hit the thought, as if I’d been standing in front of it for a long time and had only just now had the bright idea to take a step forward into it: “What if I quit my ballet job?”
