The True
By Sarah Kornfeld
My Cowboy Cousin
Family vacations as a kid meant road trips in the summer. For three weeks in August, we drove and camped, sometimes visiting friends or relatives, every other year making the drive into the mountains to see my grandparents. I would stare out the car window at barbed-wire fences, telephone poles,…
Field Notes from a Tiger Forest
The Malabar whistling thrush is never a moment late. At 5:53 AM, a peculiar, human-like whistle cuts through the still, pre-dawn air, jaunty and cocksure. He sits somewhere hidden in the huge tree in the courtyard at Hulikanu, staking his territory and doubling up as my morning alarm. But I…
Return to India
Almost 50 years ago, in the winter of 1972/73, I was on the Hippie Trail with my new husband. Into the second year of a multi-continent road trip, Tom and I drove overland, across Iran and Afghanistan, to explore the colors, sounds, and crowds of India. A green Volkswagen microbus…
#metoo?
In 2017, Salma Hayek wrote an op-ed for The New York Times entitled, “Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster Too”. In it, she expressed that “the range of his persuasion tactics went from sweet-talking me to that one time when, in an attack of fury, he said the terrifying words, 'I…

My Fiancé Is a Robot
On Tuesday we went out for Chinese food and my fortune cookie read: Your fiancé is a robot. Run! I thought that was a bit melodramatic. My fiancé's fortune was equally cryptic: No bird can fly forever. My fiancé considered this to be a scientifically sound observation of ornithological behavior.…
Whitney in the Real World
Whitney went to Marin's office with that jack-o-lantern feeling in her gut: scoured out by something sharp to let the false light through, rot accumulating slowly on the inside walls. She'd put on weight, letting the scale tip wineward, despite advice from a tired Dr. Kelsey, who'd shown her pictures…
I Am Mary
Hand-fired mud bricks hold together our two-story house. Every spring we make new bricks to replace the ones falling apart and some we try to sell. This is my favorite time of the year. Papa neatly stacks and smolders them in the middle of our modest rice field. He works…
Ash Wednesday
Part I: The Ashes Nola was from Mazatlán, Mexico, and she didn't let you forget it. She liked some of the same music as you, but everything else was cumbia or banda, music that you felt was way too brassy. And she only liked “authentic” Mexican restaurants, a definition you'd…
In Sense
The canary yellows and red stitching call out from their black backgrounds like birds in a coal mine. “I'll take these two.” I reach for my wallet and hand over a crinkly five-dollar note for the hand-knit scarves. Having forgotten the exchange rate, I'm not too surprised when the shoeless…
The Pastures of My Eccentric Uncle
Illustration by Fiona Marchbank Eccentric Uncle swings me up into the air in a single joyous movement, throwing me high—flinging me from floor to over his head as I gasp with fear and delight. For a moment I'm floating, suspended in mid-air above his wonderful, darkly handsome face, reaching down…
The Act of Vanishing
Illustration by Abi Watson Tomorrow we can say, tomorrow we can say, tomorrow we can say, tomorrow is VISITING DAY! Kendall sings, skipping up the hill from the dining hall after breakfast, where I gobbled a wretch of watered-down eggs, half a multigrain English muffin, and the ironically named Red…
