Last Wednesday, Ottessa Moshfegh’s Plimpton Prize–winning story “Bettering Myself” found itself at the center of a lawsuit filed against a Florida college by one of its faculty members. Vinita Prabhakar, the English professor in question, is suing for wrongful termination after being fired for teaching the story, alongside works by Hemingway and Carver, in a unit on unlikable narrators. This week, we’ve unlocked “Bettering Myself,” published in issue no. 204 of the Review, from the archive. theparisreview.org/fiction/6…
Bettering Myself by Ottessa Moshfegh

My classroom was on the first floor, next to the nuns’ lounge. I used their bathroom to puke in the mornings. One nun always dusted the toilet seat with talcum powder. Another nun plugged the sink...

Çocuk kitaplarına dair bir merak oluştu bende. Eskiden tanıdığım ama zamanla kaybettiğim bir merakın yeniden canlanmasına resmen alan açtı bu kitaplar.

Eskiden bu okuduğum bana ne söyleyecek diye okurdum. Fark ettim ki bir süredir ben bu okuduğum hakkında ne söyleyebilirim diye düşünerek okuyorum. Çocuk kitapları bana ne diyecek merak ediyorum ama. Hiçbir şey söyleyesim de yok üstelik. Ne güzel.

Başlık değişmiş tamam ama umarım Bihter’in “tabi siz anneleri tarafından size emanet edilen çocuklara her bakımdan yetersiz gördüğünüz bir kadının annelik etmesine şiddetle karşısınız ama.” cümlesini değiştirmeden çevirmişlerdir.

happy Nolan’s The Odyssey release day for all who celebrate. here’s my favorite Odyssey-related contemporary poem, “Telemachus’ Detachment” by Louise Glück.
Telemachus’ Detachment When I was a child looking at my parents’ lives, you know what I thought? I thought heartbreaking. Now I think heartbreaking, but also insane. Also very funny.

Question: Do you use Southwest Asia and North Africa as the default term over the Middle East in your writing? If yes, how do you handle earlier scholarship that uses “Middle East”? Do you keep the original terminology from the source? Curious to know how others navigate this.
