Hi Greene Streeters!

We will be getting back to everyone soon regarding the status of your submission’s acceptance into one of our sections — essays, reviews, or interviews.

In terms of literary news, famed author Hanya Yanagihara has been receiving mixed criticism for her most recent novel, To Paradise, regarding its representation of queer characters. Some critics have praised the novel’s spotlight on queer male relationships, while others have specifically criticized Yanagihara for mistreating and torturing queer characters for the sake of plot device. This isn’t the first time the author has been in the news for mistreatment of queer characters in her writing (cough cough A Little Life). Check out a seething Vulture article here, with the subtitle: “The novelist Hanya Yanagihara tends to torture her gay male characters — but only so she can swoop in to save them.” Yeesh!
