Begin Cutting

Delighted to have my essay, Begin Cutting: Education by Knife, published in the Virginia Quarterly Review, Fall 2015.

“Everywhere in the bleached walls of the laboratory—the sterile linoleum flooring, the burnished metal of dissection tables, the zippered white bags used to veil the dead, the gleaming instruments used to cut them open—I saw the landscape of a story into which I was being written.”
