Women and their teeth, that's another story
New fiction by Gracie Newman (and don't forget your Knicks hat!)
We hope our New York-based readers are enjoying the Knicks celebrations today. If you’d like to simultaneously show off your taste in teams and magazines, our limited-edition Championship Cap is available for purchase now.
For those not able to attend the parade, we recommend consoling yourself with the power of literature. In “Tooth Skin,” Gracie Newman’s Issue Seventeen short story, a graduate student writing a dissertation on dentistry in American literature takes a job at a dentist’s office to make ends meet. Sink your teeth into Newman’s uproarious and vivid prose today.
GRACIE NEWMAN
It’s a good thing I don’t have ambitions in the academy. I’m just clinging to the coattails of studenthood. I think it’s best this way. Long-range planning begets little but the illusion of stability and a basic knowledge of Excel. I guess I would like to acquire more ducks. I still don’t have a dentist duck, which seems like a serious gap.
