Sabatini Sloan is the author of the essay collections <em>The Fluency of Light<\/em> and <em>Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit<\/em> as well as the forthcoming book-length essay <em>Borealis<\/em> and the father-daughter collaboration <em>Captioning the Archives<\/em>. She is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan.

She is ninety-eight years old. When the global pandemic reached Michigan, the rehabilitation center where she was staying stopped accepting visitors. There were attempts at FaceTime, but her silence made it clear that for her, we had dwindled into pixelated ghosts. She contracted <small>COVID<\/small>-19 and has been moved again and again. When my mother calls to check on her every day, she makes sure to explain to hospital staff that my great aunt is almost deaf, that they have to shout in her left ear if they want to be heard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>From \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2020\/07\/09\/on-immolation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">On Immolation<\/a>,\u201d July 9, 2020:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For a period of time in 2014, I couldn\u2019t stop watching the surveillance video of a person setting fire to the Heidelberg Project, a world-renowned art installation by Tyree Guyton in a residential area of Detroit. The recorded arson struck me as a performance piece in itself. In what appears to be the very early hours of the morning, a figure approaches the threshold of a structure called \u201cTaxi House,\u201d a home adorned by boards of wood that have been painted with yellow, pink, green, and white vehicles labeled \u201ctaxi.\u201d There is a painted clock, real tires, and toy cars. A meandering, peach-colored line has been painted along a sagging corner of the roof, then it comes down onto the siding, where it moves geometrically, like Pac-Man.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>From \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2020\/09\/15\/on-doulas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">On Doulas<\/a>,\u201d September 15, 2020:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In 2016, Erykah Badu performed at Chene Park, now called the Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre, a beautiful, outdoor waterfront venue in Detroit overlooking Canada. Badu donated proceeds from that concert to the African American 490 Challenge, an organization trying to raise money to process 11,341 untested rape kits that had been abandoned for years at a Detroit police department storage facility. The initiative was named 490 after the dollar amount needed to test a single kit, each of which represents, the organization\u2019s president Kim Trent emphasized, \u201ca living, breathing victim.\u201d Four years later, thanks to their work, 11,137 kits have been tested, and there have been 210 convictions. Eighty-one percent of the victims were Black women. You could call this an archive of negligence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Review<\/em> also was named a finalist for the 2021 National Magazine Award for Fiction, recognizing Senaa Ahmad\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7512\/lets-play-dead-senaa-ahmad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Let\u2019s Play Dead<\/a>\u201d (Spring 2020), Eloghosa Osunde\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7583\/good-boy-eloghosa-osunde\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Good Boy<\/a>\u201d (Fall 2020), and Bud Smith\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7565\/violets-bud-smith\">Violets<\/a>\u201d (Summer 2020).<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to all!
