Available Light
(missing author)

by Max Schaefer. fiction.

this was an unusual piece for me - a fictional (but could easily have passed as real) memoir-like piece about a female photographer, from the POV of her friend (a gay man). an engrossing read with some really poignant moments

‘With or Without You’: Naturalising Migrants and the Never-Ending Tragedy of Liberalism
(missing author)

by Maia Pal

on the "One Day Without Us" anti-Brexit campaign. really good. one of the best things i've ever read on migrants (and i've been seeking out content in this vein lately). up there with: Barnaby Raine's salvage piece; the NLR article on Fortress Europe; and the n+1 article on ICE
