About the author

Brigid Hughes spent ten years at The Paris Review, where she worked as executive editor under the literary champion George Plimpton. After his death, Hughes decided there was a need for a new magazine dedicated to fiction. So began A Public Space, a quarterly literary journal that pursues the power of fiction and wider worldviews.

[Rose Gowen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found a second-hand copy of this magazine at SW Welch. I think the Yiyun Li story might be the very saddest story I have ever read. And/but it is very beautiful.
