“There was a time when the South Asian writer treaded the linguistic register rather carefully. Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children shook things up and made many of us his children. Not anymore! The new South Asian American writer is a wild beast.”
–from the Introduction by Guest Editor Moazzam Sheikh

Chicago Quarterly Review Editor and fiction writer Elizabeth Mckenzie has been awarded a United States/Japan Creative Artist Fellowship through the Japan/US Friendship Commision. She will receive a five month paid residency to live in Japan and pursue a creative project.
CQR editors had a great time at the City of Chicago sponsored publishing event ‘What’s New & What’s Next in Chicago Publishing’ last night. Four writers from the 2nd Story ensemble read – the theme was love in all its various guises – and music was provided by the always fantastic Seeking Wonderland. We also enjoyed a conversation with Jill Pollack, director of StoryStudiochicago, before the reading.
