In Issue 13, News from the Republic of Letters
will feature Cracks in the Sidewalk, Paint on the Walls - a story about New York graffiti
artists - by the exceptional new writer Yesi T Mills, whose story in issue 12 was widely
acclaimed. Keith Botsford offers Saturday, the first section from his new novel Father, Dear Father and we have Herb Gold's The Tragedy You Can Dance to: Haiti 2003. Another brilliant story, The Tower, by the recently-deceased Polish writer Gustaw Herling, ties in thematically (the subject is leprosy) with the two pieces in Archives: Xavier de Maistre's The Leper of Aosta, and The Leper, by the great Brazilian turn-of-the-century writer Joao Rangel. Also in this issue, The Reader returns to the magazine featuring the first of a series of essays (by many hands) on Unknown, Forgotten or Undervalued Writers, to be published in conjunction with the French magazine L'Atelier du Roman. Its subject is William Trevor.
