New Novella in McSweeney’s #34

While doing research for my still-in-progress World War II novel, I came across a deportation manifest to Auschwitz that had the names of thirteen girls on it. All were deported from Hamburg on a single train in 1942; none of them were older than 16 years old. A photocopy hung on my bulletin board, and in my head, for a year before I began to conceive of a way to make fiction about it. It eventually came out as a novella called “Afterworld,” and it’s just out in the newest issue of McSweeney’s Quarterly.
