As moving as it is riveting, Patricia Engel’s
Infinite Country is a one-of-a-kind telling of the timeless story of migration. The era-leaping novel combines international history—the Colombian Conflict, the introduction of the DREAM Act—with the personal stories of a family whose bond cannot be broken by geography. A late-night dash for freedom in the opening chapter is just the start of a border-crossing relay race that spans the Western Hemisphere. Engel’s pacing is breathless—she covers three generations in under 200 pages—but just as frequently gives way to heart- and time-stopping moments.
Infinite Country is poised to be one of the most stirring page-turners of the year.

The Panic of the 30-Somethings, and More

The Panic of the 30-Somethings, and More
By Jordan Kisner
How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining Adulthood
By Kayleen Schaefer
Image
In the 1950s, sociologists came up with a checklist for entering adulthood: finish school, leave home, make your own money, marry and become a parent. Only once a person had managed all five, the thinking went, were they finally an adult. “These markers are supposed to be some sort of an end,” Schaefer writes. “When we arrive at them, we will know what we’re doing and who we are.”
Are you laughing — or crying — yet? In her thoughtful and well-paced evaluation of “adulthood,” Schaefer explores the struggle today’s ascendant adults face in getting anywhere near these goals “on time.” Her tone is both skeptical of these 70-year-old benchmarks and sympathetic to the many people, like herself, who feel anxious and ashamed for failing to meet them. It’s not that 30-somethings are ditching school, independence and traditional family life out of rebellion, but that their efforts are frequently thwarted. They are facing “the fear that may have been on the edges of our consciousness before: We may never get where we want to be.”

What role does a mother play in raising thoughtful, generous children? In her literary debut, internationally award-winning writer
Courtney Zoffness considers what we inherit from generations past—biologically, culturally, spiritually—and what we pass on to our children.
Spilt Milk is an intimate, bracing, and beautiful exploration of vulnerability and culpability. Zoffness relives her childhood anxiety disorder as she witnesses it manifest in her firstborn; endures brazen sexual advances by a student in her class; grapples with the implications of her young son’s cop obsession; and challenges her Jewish faith. Where is the line between privacy and secrecy? How do the stories we tell inform who we become? These powerful, dynamic essays herald a vital new voice.

The Paris Review - Showing Mess: An Interview with Courtney Zoffness

Like so many books, for so long now, I read Courtney Zoffness’s Spilt Milk
while mostly isolated with my family. I’ve spent much of this year thinking about what books are worth, why any of us keep bothering. I felt disconnected from fiction that seemed too invested in its own intelligence to engage with characters’ flaws or vulnerabilities. In this time, Spilt Milk
enacted a particular sort of magic on me. It’s nonfiction, memoir, a series of essays, unabashedly interested in the quotidian. As a mother, Zoffness worries that her child worries too much, just as she used to and still worries. In another essay, Zoffness, as a freshly minted M.F.A. student, finds herself doing research for the memoir of a Syrian Jew because she needs a paycheck, and so begins tracking the persecution and forced departure of ten thousand Jews from Aleppo. Yet another essay centers on raising her young white son in brownstone Brooklyn, a son who is obsessed with visiting the police precinct close to their home, and the arrival of 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests.
