Volodymyr Zelenskyy Has a Message for Americans

It is night in Ukraine at the moment. Another week of war is over. And probably no one in Ukraine will remember which week of the war it was. It is the first minutes of a new Monday. The day when most of the world will simply return to work after the weekend. The day when Ukraine will continue to fight for its life. This is our job now. No weekends, no vacations. When every day and every week matter. And every trip like this. Now I am on the road. Together with a few team members, we are heading to the front line. This week will begin for me at the front.

Even in the wilting heat of a late-stage New York summer, Adjei-Brenyah cuts a striking figure; a security guard pulls away from corralling unruly tweens just to compliment his hat, a trilby in rich forest green. The guard probably has no reason to know that this elegant, soft-spoken man who quite literally would not hurt a fly is the same one who’s published two of the most explosive and unlikely literary sensations of the past five years—the astonishing 2018 story collection Friday Black and his debut novel, Chain-Gang All-Stars, released in May and now short-listed for the National Book Award for Fiction [Read More]( [A Topcoat Makes Every Outfit Heaps Cooler.

They are a LOT: 26.2 miles of running, preceded by months of training. If you’re reading this, it is possible that in a springtime spasm of self-improvement or a New Year’s Resolution accident, you signed up for one, and it is beginning to dawn on you that you’re going to have to go through with it. That’s where I am as I write this. I got into this year’s New York City Marathon, it is six weeks away, and I am in the thick of the Season of Ruined Weekends: That last couple of months when each new Saturday or Sunday morning means more miles: 14, 16, 18, 20, then you dial it back for a couple of weekends, then you actually have to go and run the whole 26.2.
