“AFTERPARTIES” Anthony Veasna So (August 3)
I didn’t know much about Anthony
Veasna So before he died in December. I
knew his work for the magazine n+1, but
in the months since he passed there’s been
an incredible outpouring of love and grief
from the writers and editors that knew
him, and I was inspired to look back into
what I’d already read. Th ere was only one
conclusion: I want to read “Aft erparties,”
So’s fi rst and only short story collection,
and I look forward to spending time with
the type of writer that is in short supply.

“MORE THAN I LOVE MY LIFE”

David Grossman is one of Israel’s worthiest
exports. His novels and essays are consis-
tently thoughtful, generous and worth
reading for the language, even when
translated. For that, thank Cohen, who
has translated many of Grossman’s works
into English, alongside books from other
big-name Israeli writers. If you don’t believe
me, check out this newest novel of his. ●
