  • // playlist

  • // in memory

    When I flew to Seattle for my father’s memorial service, my mother and I—and sometimes the people who streamed through my parents’ house for the days and weeks to come—sat on the back patio and stared out at Puget Sound. My mom smoked a steady chain of cigarettes. I folded, chest into thighs. We laughed with […]

  • // this is not the real cover, and other stories
