About “The Sweet and the Salt”
“This story broke my heart. It’s awfully hard to write about people who are so disenfranchised and make it feel real, but this story does so in a way that feels effortless. The fear and the pain and, above that, the courage and resilience of the narrator shook me up, in precisely the way I want a story to. I was reminded of the work of Daniel Mason and Zora Neale Hurston.”
