'My engagement with history is very material, by which I mean it has to do with language,' said Hernan Diaz at last night's #TYRFestival event, describing language as 'sedimented history.'
Kudos @YaleReview for hosting a great event with 2 masters of fiction talking literature, history, research (or lack thereof). Diaz spoke of 'reading towards a novel' & Katie Kitamura thrilled us with an excerpt from a forthcoming work. They are also lovely & charming in person!

Incredible news for people with #LongCOVID today. Thank you Bernie Sanders for LISTENING to tens of millions with LC, and thank you so much to the people from Long Covid Moonshot for your tireless advocacy efforts. You should not have to work so hard, but I’m honored to have you by our side
We at The Yale Review just won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence! That's thanks to phenomenal work by all of our (very small) staff, and the leadership of Meghan O'Rourke. I'm biased, of course, but this a pretty amazing accomplishment. And you should read our stuff.
