Ferns

World Literature Today, 2020
“Ferns” entered the global conversation at a pivotal moment speaking to themes that are strikingly transcendental—repression of freedom of expression and movement, yearning for those freedoms, and a fight for liberation.
World Literature Today describes the story as Cortazarian, “simultaneously evoking life under past Chilean political oppression and living under recent worldwide quarantines due to Covid-19.”
