The new issue of Plume is here, with new work by Andrei Codrescu (“way too human too fast way too boring too quick”), Rosmarie Waldrop (“The line between water and grammar.”), Lydia Davis, translating the Dutch of A. L. Snijders (“I’m very fond of
coincidence, and so when I thought about it again I was not surprised that the first bang occurred after the word ‘fired.'”), and more.
