Ksenia Buksha's "Daniel the Super" is now out at ANMLY!

In 2020, I asked Ksenia Buksha if she had any new shorter work and she took the extraordinary step of writing “Управдом Даниил” — “Daniel the Super” in my translation — in response. Part prose poem, part dramatic monologue, part horror movie, Buksha’s thought experiment on the nature of responsibility vs helplessness is itself a prophetic warning…

no, it’s all good, though
the human race has always lived like this
the end of the world’s just business as usual

Thanks to Sarah Clark at ANMLY for her gracious and perceptive editing. Enjoy! (If “Enjoy!” is the proper exhortation for reading a piece that ends with a severed head…)
