The New Yorker: The Writer's Voice - New Fiction from The New Yorker

CHAPTER

The Light, the Sound, and the Light

"There it is, there it is, here it comes, yes. Here it came, yes," says author of a memoir about growing up in the '60s and '70s. "It was plain to me lying on my back that, of all the generations that had trot upon the earth, ours, clairs in mine, i.e., this very one, would be the first to discover that oppressive patterns observable everywhere around us—wars, riots, divorces, famines — could be disrupted." The book will be published by Simon & Schuster at $24.99 (with an MS-13 price tag).
