<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.aminagautier.com/" target="_blank">Amina Gautier</a> is the winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction for her short story collection <em>At-Risk</em>. More than seventy-five of her stories have been published, appearing in <em>Best African American Fiction</em>, <em>The Chattahoochee Review</em>, <em>Glimmer Train</em>, <em>Iowa Review</em>, <em>Kenyon Review</em>, <em>North American Review</em>, and <em>Southern Review</em>, among other places. Her stories have won the <em>Crazyhorse</em> Fiction Prize, the Danahy Prize, the Jack Dyer Prize, the Schlafly Microfiction Award, and the William Richey Award as well as scholarships and fellowships from the American Antiquarian Society, Breadloaf Writer’s Conference, Sewanee Writer’s Conference, and Ucross Foundation and artist grants from the Illinois Arts Council and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. <br /><br />Gautier’s fully-imagined and poetic story “Bodega” appears in our upcoming Spring issue as the inaugural Winner of the Lamar York Prize for Fiction. We asked her to share some thoughts on the story with <em>TCR</em> readers.<br /><br /><strong>What was the inspiration for “Bodega”? Tell us about how you came to write it. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Although I have lived in a number of towns and cities, I am a native New Yorker and being a New Yorker is something one is born into, something one can never stop being no matter where one moves and takes up residence, something one can never "pick up" if one has moved to New York from some other place. When you are a native New Yorker, you are a child of bodegas, neighborhood stores. Depending on the section of New York that informs your background, these bodegas are sometimes the only places in your neighborhood for grocery shopping. Oftentimes a neighborhood may have only one supermarket—a C-Town, Key Food, Pathmark or Associated for the entire community. For some folks, that supermarket might only be two blocks away; for others, it might be twenty. The bodega suffices as a convenient place to obtain groceries, certainly, but also as a reminder of one's own marginalization, a sign post that reminds one of the social and economic disparities in one's community that have made the bodega both necessary and profitable in the first place. The bodegas are permanent neighborhood fixtures. As a child, you pass these bodegas and drop in every day on the way to school and—later—on the way to catch public transportation. You gain a familiarity with those proprietors that you never seek with the cashiers in your local supermarket. The owners are people you come to know. Their faces are ones you come to recognize and know well during the long years of childhood. <br /><br /><strong>Protagonist Nelida is an unlikely business woman, unlikely surrogate mother, unlikely migrant. Is she representative in a way that’s important to your vision as a writer?</strong> <br />Nelida is an important character for me as a writer because she embodies "between-ness." In this particular instance, she is representative of cultural, political, social, physical, and linguistic between-ness, but the various forms "between-ness" can take is something I have always explored and continue to explore in my fiction and my many short stories. <br /><br /><strong>The story follows Nelida through a routine hour, the hour before she opens her family’s bodega, “the quietest hour of the day.” As a writer clearly interested in characterization, interiority in particular, and sentence-level beauty, how much attention do you give to pacing? Were you thinking of immediacy when you chose to have Nelida search for a letter from her son? How important is urgency, in your opinion, to a general literary audience?</strong> <br />I am always aware of pacing and I manipulate grammar, punctuation and stylistic conventions (synecdoche, metonymy, repetition, sibilance, etc.) in order to control the pacing of a story at the level of the sentence. However, I think there is an important distinction to be made between "urgency" and "quickness." As a writer, I am always interested and invested in "urgency," that pressing importance that guides one sentence into the next and goads a character from a state of inactiveness into one of activeness, but I sense that much of the general reading audience is more invested in quickness. When I hear books praised for the speed with which they were written, or the speed with which they can be read, I am completely puzzled as to why speed has become the criterion by which we express our preferences. I associate speed of writing with sloppiness of thought and craft. I certainly associate reading a book quickly with not reading or understanding it thoroughly. If you read so quickly that you never put the book down and are done with it two-to-three hours later, have you actually taken the time to understand it, to savor its language, craft and structure? Will you remember any poignant or resonant lines a week/month/year later from a book consumed so quickly? You’ve gulped down a meal. Sure, you ate it quickly and moved on to the next thing on your agenda, but did you really taste it? The books I enjoy most are the ones which compel me to put them down every so often because I have read something in them that I must ponder, just as the meals I enjoy most are the ones that compel me to put the fork down every so often because I have tasted something that I must savor.<br /><br /><strong>When did you have a sense of how “Bodega” would end? What advice would you have for writers in general about a story’s trajectory, and where it ends up? </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I envisioned the ending somewhere between the third and fifth draft, so, somewhere in the first month of working on the story. Although I worked on the story for another six months and played with the ending several times during several more drafts, the essentials of the ending were conceived early on. My advice would be: Don't force the writing. Follow the ending you believe you wish to pursue, while leaving yourself open to consider other endings that will suggest themselves as possibilities through the process of revision. Sometimes the ending is written first, sometimes it is written last. Sometimes the ending becomes the story's middle; the writer gets to what he or she thought was the end and realizes the story must go further. Sometimes the original ending turns out to ultimately be clunky, superficial, cliché, trite, too neat—such endings must be abandoned without remorse. Sometimes the original ending a writer conceived is not the appropriate ending for that story; sometimes it is meant to be the ending of some other story the writer has yet to write. <br /><br /><strong>Where do you go for writing inspiration in general?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I go "outside" and "inside," which is to say that I go "outside" in the literal sense, i.e., I leave my home and engage with whatever landscape I happen to be part of at that time. It means I take trolleys and trains and walk around and look at various businesses, buildings and structures. It means I walk around and along lakes, ponds, rivers, beaches and paths and look at houses, hills, skies and cliffs. While "outside," I observe the world around me and look for things I wouldn't normally notice when I am rushing; I look for things I can only see when I am taking my time. Then I go "inside" which is to say I retreat inside my head to think over that which I have seen and interpret what it all means.<br /><br /><strong>What are you working on now? What can readers look forward to?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Readers can look forward to more stories about Nelida and her family and about the characters who live across the street from her bodega. Two other stories involving these characters have recently been published in <em>Southwest Review</em> and <em>Kenyon Review</em> and I find that I am still thinking of them. I am not done with them yet.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In <em>Life Outside the Set</em>, Michael Diebert weaves together frayed threads in the tapestry of human experience. Rooted in memory and mind, these poems illustrate frustration with being caught between the Scylla of the hazy wished-for and the Charybdis of the ad-libbed actual, but they also insist on the beautiful and wondrous as, in Robert Frost’s words, a “momentary stay against confusion.” From a variety of viewpoints, with equal doses of puzzlement, wryness, and exhortation, this debut collection re-advances the possibility that beyond the ground-bound and temporary, there might be something better.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>The Woman Who Drank Her Own Reflection</em> is a new title in Guernica Editions’ Essential Poets series. With this collection Louise McKinney gathers together poems published in a number of North American journals, and which were shortlisted under a different title for the Texas Review’s annual poetry prize. Writes Lawrence Hetrick, author of <em>Derelict Tributaries</em>, “Louise McKinney’s generous poems are all the more interesting for being grounded in a variety of distant places. Yet their landscapes are finally within, spirit being awakened by the poet’s words. These poems offer rare gifts of new language and expansive humanity.” </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>The Chattahoochee Review</em>, Georgia Perimeter College’s literary magazine, is now available at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">According to the magazine’s editor, Anna Schachner, a request came from the current U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Tretheway for copies of <em>The Chattahoochee Review</em> to feature in her office at the Library of Congress. “It is one of her favorite literary journals, and Natasha wanted copies to distribute to guests that she receives in her office,” Schachner explains. Tretheway is a resident of Decatur and has been a long-time supporter of Georgia Perimeter’s literary endeavors. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Having our journal in the Library of Congress is an honor–and a milestone–for <em>The Chattahoochee Review</em>,” said Schachner. “Our editorial staff is so excited and proud to see our journal getting out there in the world and gathering accolades along the way. The <em>Review</em> is indeed growing and growing.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>The Chattahoochee Review</em> has appeared regularly since 1981 and has expanded its focus to include both international readers and writers. </span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Miss Ireland” had its genesis in a story from my childhood that my mother used to refer to in hushed tones. A young mother had gassed herself and her two young children in a house on our street—this was before I was born so I never knew any of the details. But it stayed with me, mainly because as a teenager I was convinced that nothing ever happened in neighbourhoods like ours—suburban, respectable; this incident, mystifying and shocking, was in direct opposition to my lofty, adolescent view that I was surrounded by placid, self-satisfied dullness in a place where nothing happened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

How did family roles and plot structure evolve in revision?<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;"><span style="font-size: large;">My original idea was to write the story from the point of view of the maid, then Irene appeared and took over, I’m afraid. It seemed more interesting to view Quinny through her eyes because Irene can’t recognise what’s in front of her. In many ways, that is Quinny’s tragedy—that she finds herself in a world that won’t or can’t empathise with her situation and that world is the family. Although the story is set in and plays out within the family, I’m hoping it has wider resonances. One of the debates that has exercised public interest in Ireland is how much ordinary people knew about the maltreatment and abuse of children in state and church care during this period. The answer, I think, is that they knew and they didn’t know—much like Irene, who instinctively senses Quinny’s plight, but consciously hasn’t a clue.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;"><span style="font-size: large;">The story is set in the Sixties in Ireland, in 1965 to be precise. (The 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising is mentioned as “upcoming.”)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In nuance, it reflects the period of my childhood. The very fact that there are still maids in evidence speaks of a time that seems pre-historic, even to me. The Sixties came late to Ireland, so my memory of the decade was one of traditional, conservative values. What drives Irene, the mother in the story, is a sense of respectability and constraint. At that time there were very well-defined roles imposed on women and men and the influence of the Catholic Church was paramount. A sub-theme in the story is an exploration of national and female identity—Irene has represented Ireland in a beauty contest, but Quinny represents an altogether different version of the female, Irish experience of the time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;"><span style="font-size: large;">For novels, I can never predict where the idea will come from. My novels have been historical but only because the stories that have really fired me happen to be from the past. I can’t really say why a baby kidnap in Dublin of the 1950s (my first novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mother-Pearl-Mary-Morrissy/dp/0099582511" target="_blank">Mother of Pearl</a></i>) or the story of Anna Anderson, the woman who spent her whole life insisting she was the Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Pretender-Mary-Morrissy/dp/0099283670" target="_blank">The Pretender</a></i>, my second novel), captured my imagination. What unites them is that they feature real people and inhabit a territory somewhere between fiction and biography. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;"><span style="font-size: large;">My most recent novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Rising of Bella Casey</i>, is the story of a 19<sup>th</sup> century schoolteacher whose life is turned to ruin by a secret sexual obsession. It’s based on the life of the sister of Irish playwright Sean O’Casey, whose writing about her is woven into the narrative. The trajectory of Bella’s story is heartbreaking, a riches-to-rags narrative, and once it took hold it just would not let go.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
