Issue 66
A couple, inspired by reality TV, embarks on a wilderness adventure that unravels into disorientation and desperation, exposing the limits of their self-reliance. Stranded at a distant Midwestern conference, two young academics find themselves on a rain-soaked late-night taxi detour with a shady driver and a drenched stranger, only to witness a heated housekeeping argument in the unpredictable theater of American hospitality. An Italian theater troupe journeys down the Volga in newborn post-Soviet Russia, discovering hope, uncertainty, and quiet resilience amid a nation caught between two worlds. And when a restless family detours to the Custer Battlefield, a nine-year-old’s darkly comic fascination with blood and heroics collides with his father’s half-remembered history, leaving both to wrestle with myth, memory, and the uneasy legacy of the American West.
