John Updike, Vladimir Nabokov, and Me

a little celebration

---

I’m very proud that my story, “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” is included in A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker and that my poem, “The Facebook Sonnet” is included in A Century of Poetry in The New Yorker.

As you can see from just a partial list of contents, I share space with amazing company.

But the craziest news is this:

All I can do is laugh at how impossible this feels! It’s such a long cultural and economic journey for the reservation Indian boy that I was.

I gives thanks to Deborah Treisman, The New Yorker fiction editor, and Kevin Young, The New Yorker poetry editor, for choosing my work.
