Postdoctoral fellow and McGovern Center-Inprint Writer-in-Residence Pritha Bhattacharyya, PhD, recently published a new story in The Kenyon Review. The story, “The Trouble with Brown People,” is a play on the famous Raymond Carver story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” and Nathan Englander’s follow-up, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” Bhattacharyya wanted her work to pay homage to the literary tradition while putting her own spin on it. The story appears in the Summer 2025 issue.
