Gina Chung, Tucker Leighty-Phillips, and More

Author Interviews

Beach read season may be over, but fall reading season is on its way.In reading our hot new issue, don't forget that our blog, the Attic, is a great place to find book recommendations, from reviews to interviews to commentary, and lately we've had a streak of interviews. Last week, Lauren Lavín talked with Tucker Leighty-Phillips about his new chapbook Maybe This is What I Deserve, from Split/Lip Press. Today on the Attic, Swetha Amit chats with Gina Chung about her debut novel Sea Change, which Vintage published in March.I hope you give them a read. Both authors offer insight into the vulnerability that writing (and, to an extent, reading) necessarily requires. Though the books are structurally and topically unique, like any good work of fiction, they can be mirrors for our own loneliness and desire. SEND US BOOK STUFF Do you know a debut author or a new indie book you want to highlight? Send us an interview! Send us a review! We're open for both year-round. Issue FiveWherever you are on social media these days, I hope you can share some of your favorite prose and poetry from Issue Five. Are there writers on Bluesky yet? Also, did you know you can email links to each other, like a kind of electronic version of mail? It could make a comeback.In the meantime, I hope you keep writing. The world needs it.Peace,Keene ShortEditor-in-ChiefAtticus Review
