Issue 22 is 2/3 fiction. The ideas are singing. Exquisite philosophy, reporterly precision, magic realism, psychopomps, trailing tendrils, the deficient and the bullied. There is hidden humor. IRL the ego is itself a narrator. The home of all stories is brains that don’t work right.
Poetry is held up with germanium lyres, in the lyrics of three formidable da Gamas.
