In 2025, I had a chance to read Anne Applebaum's "Russia and China Are Winning the Propaganda War" from The Atlantic, Samuel Moyn's "Casus Belli: The origins of the war in Ukraine" in Harper's, Jon Lee Anderson's recent New Yorker reporting from the Congo region of Africa, and other pieces primarily from Harper's Magazine and The Atlantic's 2024 and '25 print issues. Goodreads says I read twenty-one books. A strong majority were under 250 pages.
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
