Freeman's: The Best New Writing on Arrival
Freeman John
We
live today in constant motion, traveling distances rapidly, small ones daily,
arriving in new states. In this inaugural edition of Freeman's, a new biannual
of unpublished writing, former Granta editor and NBCC president John Freeman
brings together the best new fiction, nonfiction, and poetry about that
electrifying moment when we arrive. Strange encounters abound. David Mitchell
meets a ghost in Hiroshima Prefecture; Lydia Davis recounts her travels in the
exotic territory of the Norwegian language; and in a Dave Eggers story, an
elderly gentleman cannot remember why he brought a fork to a wedding. End
points often turn out to be new beginnings. Louise Erdrich visits a Native
American cemetery that celebrates the next journey, and in a Haruki Murakami
story, an aging actor arrives back in his true self after performing a role,
discovering he has changed, becoming a new person. Featuring startling new
fiction by Laura van den Berg, Helen Simpson, and Tahmima Anam, as well as
stirring essays by Aleksandar Hemon, Barry Lopez, and Garnette Cadogan, who
relearned how to walk while being black upon arriving in NYC, Freeman's
announces the arrival of an essential map to the best new writing in the world.
