We’re thrilled to bring you our first Spanish-language feature: “Cuando me preguntan si siento nostalgia por Cuba suelo ser esquivo en mi respuesta para no perturbar al interlocutor cuando respondo que mis seres queridos caminan por esta ciudad, con lo que queda de patria a cuestas y, de cierta manera, el país está donde moran: la familia, los amigos y los amores”. Pepe Nostalgia, by Alejandro Ríos
We’ve also published two new English-language features:
“My father tented his house a few years ago and unwittingly transformed it into a concentration camp for frogs--the little, bug-eyed ones familiar to any South Florida homeowners who haven't covered their entire yard with concrete.” House Tenting, by Brooke McQuale
“I last ate chicharrones from Futuro Supermarket about three months ago, on a football Sunday. I hadn't ventured into the place since Sarita and I broke up, about two years before . . .” Chicharrones, by Arjay Kay
Finally, pull out the pen and paper! We've announced our Hurricane Story Contest.
