Status Updates From Granta 172: Badlands

Carousel by O’Shea really grows on you or maybe sneaks up on you. A good one

Came for the Vollmann piece but stayed for My first husband by Stephanie Wambugu. Although Happy Ending by Brittany Newell was also a good one. The poems haven’t been that good for now

Happy Ending was quite nice actually, however the angle part was the best one the rest seemed at times a bit fluffy.
Ernaux eludes me - yet again, I think we are just not a good match.
