As an organizing principle for this issue, we decided to cluster texts which we (as the editors and first readers) see in some kind of conversation with each other. These clustered conversations pace your reading experience and enable you to easily enter the conversations that appeal to you. Some of our conversational clusters have a lot in common yet approach the shared topics from distinct perspectives. In other conversations, the pieces appear to have less in common, yet their adjacency brings a more faceted understanding to the subject at hand. It's rather like a party—which we wish we could host with all of you attending!
PUBLICATION OF THIS ISSUE WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY A GENEROUS GRANT FROM KIM CHERNIN AND RENATE STENDHAL IN THE NAME OF EDGEWORK BOOKS
