I read it at the kitchen counter in the Capitol Hill apartment at seven in the morning with Eleanor in the carrier against my chest and Julian beside me with his coffee and the Washington November morning outside the window doing what November mornings did which was arrive cold and clear and entirely without apology for what the year had cost to produce them. The feature ran to four thousand words.

Emma answered the call, still nestled against Jake's side on the couch. "Maya, this better be good, because your timing is" "Em, thank God you answered. Are you sitting down?" Emma felt a chill of premonition. "What's wrong?" "It's not wrong, it's incredible. *The New York Times* just called me.

“Did you read the Sunday Times arts section yesterday?” “No, I was taking a day off. What did they say?” “Nothing good. Not only the Los Angeles Times, but we were also creamed in the New York Arts section and Publishers Daily. Here, look.” Anna scanned through the sections.
