children
When I returned from my recent roadtrip I found in my mailbox the newest issue (#19) of the East Village INKY, a zine about raising kids (ages 5 and 2 as of this writing) in New York City. I've always liked EVI (you can read my reviews of older issues over at Invisible City—here and here) and anybody interested in children should check it out. (Send $2 to Ayun Halliday, PO Box 22754, Brooklyn NY, 11202, or subscribe online.)
I've been thinking a lot about representations of children lately, in particular because I want to start writing some kids into Imaginary Year. (There's one floating around at the fringe of the narrative right now, but so far he has been entirely offstage.) I realized recently that I'm hard-pressed to think of any novels that prominently feature a realistic child anywhere between the ages of two and twelve. Where is all the good writing about children?
Online, we could look at the entertaining Raising Hell (don't miss the cautionary tales of the Unfortunate Little Boy, in particular the one about The Little Boy Who Didn't Brush His Teeth) (thanks Laura). There's also It's all going to be OK over at Whygodwhy (thanks Ray). Labels: personal, writing |
