Once upon a time …

The practice of retelling fairy tales in the form of literary fiction is, if not quite hallowed, certainly established. The great Angela Carter’s revelatory 1979 story collection, “The Bloody Chamber” — a brocaded work of heady sensuality, intelligence and violence — remains the benchmark, but Kate Bernheimer’s Fairy Tale Review and the several excellent Bernheimer-edited anthologies spun off from it carry the standard forward. Those are just some of the more overt homages; Western literature owes as much to fairy tales as it does to Greek myth and the Bible.

Pinnochia from Pleasure Island

From the Archives, Poetry | by Lo Kwa Mei-en | Jul 12, 2017

Now I think of what I’d die to forget. Now I forget.
Where did I grow up, get out—was I as rich as a golden
yolk waiting to crack in the hay?

People love my city for its brasseries like hothouses, ardent and perverse, its breezes that smell of coffee and of the sea.

Little Red Riding Hood

From the Archives, Poetry | by Matthew Zapruder | Jun 28, 2017

Of this world we know very little.
In my little house I know green
stags leap over me when I sleep.
