Shorties (An Interview with Agustina Bazterrica, Sharon Van Etten's Cover of Hurt, and more)
Agustina Bazterrica discussed her novel Tender Is the Flesh with Electric Literature.
I love literature that makes an impact and generates a response, but does not tell me what to do. In my own writing I want to generate questions. And a lot of people told me that after reading my book they stopped eating meat. I don’t know how much that decision endured. I don’t care if they stop eating meat for one day, one week or several years, it’s not the important thing. The important thing is that they start looking at reality in a different way.
Sharon Van Etten covered Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt."

But of course, when you look at the history, it's a lot more complicated; the story of immigration in the United States has always been subject to great debate. It has always involved considerations of race and ethnicity. There have been moments of extreme xenophobia and racism and immigration bans.
