In seventeen entries, she revisits ancient history and wonders about the near future; pulls in a constellation of people (Browning, Eliot, Wordsworth, Pepys) and places (Romania, India, Egypt); muses on her late cat, her cherished car, her beloved Elizabeth, and her advancing age. In the first entry, she dilates on the miracle of her garden: tucked away in a quiet corner of Llanystumdwy, Wales, and yet teeming with a rich assortment of life.<\/p>\n<p>My hope is that this issue is a version of Morris\u2019s garden: a microcosm of the larger literary ecology, gathered (perhaps not too unassumingly) between two covers. We owe our sunny front cover to Edie Fake, the <em>Review<\/em>\u2019s first trans cover artist. His paintings in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/art-photography\/7192\/cities-of-the-future-their-color-renee-gladman-edie-fake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/art-photography\/7192\/cities-of-the-future-their-color-renee-gladman-edie-fake\">the issue\u2019s portfolio<\/a> imagine queer spaces and invent \u201cimpossible\u201d architectures as a metaphor for trans bodies. In the portfolio\u2019s essay, Renee Gladman optimistically envisions in these spaces a speculative future\u2014cities occupied by people \u201clike new shapes arriving to some Euclidean page, wanting opposites and sames and inverses and transverses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of firsts in this issue, not least a story by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7176\/firelight-ursula-k-le-guin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7176\/firelight-ursula-k-le-guin\">Ursula K.
