Solving for X
From its genesis in a box of staples containing 5,000 staples and the thought, “My God, how can I ever use 5,000 staples in the time left to me on this earth?”, Pam Durban’s Solving for X gathers flashes of color in a moment where the world is darkening. In flash essays that are new and startling for this writer of fiction, Durban fully leverages the form’s ability to evoke brief encounters with mortality, love, and time. A door opens, a light shines, something speaks, and you listen.
