Friday Links for July 17, 2020

Roseanne T. Sullivan

DT Editor and Contributor recommendations about fiction by Valerie Sayers, Joshua Hren, and Marilynne Robinson, not to forget face masks by artist Daniel Mitsui.

Read an Excerpt from The Age of Infidelity and Other Stories

Katy Carl shared the above link to a mini-review at Slant News of Valerie Sayers’ The Age of Infidelity and Other Stories, where you can click through and read Company, one of Sayers’ stories from the book. I found I like Sayers’ writing very much. There’s not a hint of mystifying obscurity, not a single inept word to jolt my attention off the track of her story. While I deplore the casual uncommitted coupling that joined the woman protagonist and the man in the story—which is so unremarkable in this “age of infidelity”—I admire how well she shows without telling—that even though we pretend that intercourse doesn’t bond a couple, it does, as is evidenced years after the breakup of the intelligent woman and her loathsome lover and in a surprising way.

Face Masks by Artist Daniel Mitsui

Karen Barbre Ullo shared this post, “Daniel Mitsui is making face masks.” See the image below for one example of a mask made of one of Mitsui’s ink drawings, Our Lady, Undoer of Knots.

The idea was suggested by my 11-year-old son, as he watched a masked man delivering our groceries: Could you have face masks made with your art on them? My whole family liked the idea. While I have in the past been reluctant to place my art on clothing, this seemed like a good and important occasion to make an exception. These masks are neck gaiters, which have somewhat more room for imagery.”—Daniel Mitsui

A deep-thinking storyteller on the rise

Katy Carl recommended this link. Stephen Mirarchi at “Catholic World Report” reviews In the Wine Press, Joshua Hren’s collection of stories recently published by Angelico Press. Mirarchi praises Hren’s “dense and elliptical, and thoroughly modern psychological realism.”

Jack and Della

Katy Carl shared a link to this story by Marilynne Robinson, commenting, “This was splendid.” I’ll have to take her word for it, because I’ve used up all of my free New Yorker articles for the month.
