An Unexpected Interlude Between Two Characters

Jacqueline Herranz Brooks / An Unexpected Interlude Between Two Characters / fiction
Taken from the forthcoming anthology Dream With No Name: Contemporary Fiction from Cuba, this short fiction by Brooks, a new and intoxicating young author, recounts the events of a chance meeting between two women on one evening, weaving intimate details into a swirl of hazy imagery and emotions. Her casual treatment of lesbian sex and drug use is almost unprecedented in Cuban literature.

Lee R. Haven / Going Public With
the High Yella Black / essay
Haven's essay on colorism stemming from his reactions to the Mayoral elections in Atlanta in 1997. Just as color would be America's biggest problem in the 20th century, so the struggle between different hues may be the biggest of the 21st.

Richard Manton / On Suburban Souls / essay
In this insightful essay on the underground classic of the Victorian Era, Suburban Souls, Manton discusses the psychological impact of obsession in the novel, specifically erotic jealousy, in the context of its date of publication. The essay is followed by an excerpt from the book, which Manton prefaces by saying, "Had the great novelists of the later nineteenth century permitted themselves the range of such subject matter, this might well have been the sort of chapter which resulted."
