A new issue of Asymptote

Back in January, a new issue of Asymptote came out. In the nonfiction section, which I edit, I was happy to publish pieces including:

• An excerpt from Sibylle Lacan's memoir of her father, Jaques Lacan.
• A wonderful chapter from a biography of Imam Mousa Sadr, from the perspective of his eldest son.
• A great piece of Polish reportage on the legacies of modernism. 
• Some elegiac vita from the St. Katharinental Sister Book, written in the 14th and 15th centuries.

I am the nonfiction editor of Asymptote, and we have a new issue out. I am particularly proud of the nonfiction section, which includes Grégoire Chamayou on drones, an epistolary exchange between the wonderful Semezdin Mehmedinović and Miljenko Jergović on Susan Sontag and other matters, prose poetry from Syria, the Soviet literary icon Ilya Ilf, and the memories of the Martinican writer Raphaël Confiant.
