Bailey was a John and Ren\u00e9e Grisham Fellow in fiction at the University of Mississippi. The <em>Review<\/em>\u2019s publisher, Mona Simpson, writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSocial Promotion\u201d by Elijah Bailey is laugh-out-loud funny, narrated by Derajanae in a voice full of comedy, pathos, and joy. She is at an awards ceremony at a \u201clast-chance alternative school\u201d in a former office space with \u201cone of them spinning doors you can trap people in,\u201d sitting behind her teacher who makes \u201ca bigger deal out of everything than it is\u201d and next to her mother and baby sister, Racey, who wears a onesie with cars on it. Derajanae has written a play to be performed at the ceremony, but first she has to listen to a boy who can\u2019t read call out the names of the winners. \u201cSound it out,\u201d she thinks. \u201cGuess better.\u201d He has yet to say her name.<\/p>\n<p>Derajanae got kicked out of her last school \u201cfor fighting too good,\u201d and she\u2019s due at the park for a fight right now\u2014but first she has to star in her play as Sojourner Truth. \u201cMe and Miss Marie had to compromise on the play,\u201d she says. \u201cShe ain\u2019t want no foul language and no making light of violence. During rehearsal she kept pecking at it and pecking at it until it was only kind of mine.\u201d We watch the play unfold as a raucous farce; naturally, Derajanae manages to make it more hers. During the applause, she thinks, \u201cI had done something big and good, and my ears were burning hot.\u201d But the story isn\u2019t over yet. Keeping the reader in what feels like a gentle suspense until the end, Bailey has the last word, a surprise that resonates in layers\u2014it\u2019s first funny, then more and more profound.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Established in 2023, the Susannah Hunnewell Prize recognizes an outstanding piece of prose or poetry published by the <em>Review<\/em> in the previous year, and is given in memory of the magazine\u2019s beloved former publisher, who died in 2019. Hunnewell first joined the <em>Review<\/em> as an intern during George Plimpton\u2019s editorship, and later served as Paris editor before taking on the role of publisher. Among her contributions to the magazine are some of the finest interviews in the Writers at Work series, including conversations with Emmanuel Carr\u00e8re, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky.

Born in France, Columeau has published five collections of novellas and short stories in Urdu, as well as two novels. \u201cDerrida in Lahore\u201d was translated from the Urdu by Sana R. Chaudhry, who won the 2022 Jawad Memorial Prize for Urdu-English Translation for her translation of Columeau\u2019s story \u201cMy Dear Teacher.\u201d Of \u201cDerrida in Lahore,\u201d Simpson writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Given the title, readers may come to \u201cDerrida in Lahore\u201d hoping for an autofiction glimpse of the great philosopher (and the story won\u2019t disappoint), but long after the French master has left Lahore, what lingers is the story of two young men, educated together from primary school in the fifteenth-largest city of Pakistan (known for rice production) through university in Lahore. One, Shahid, is a seeker\u2014as a boy he stays in the municipal library until closing time; when he\u2019s driven out of the university for blasphemy, he flees to Paris to attend Derrida\u2019s lectures. The other, our narrator, follows a more conventional path, returning home to teach at a local high school. Shahid\u2019s father, a feudal lord\u00a0who brags that he\u2019s only ever read one book\u2014the Quran\u2014lures his son home with a post at a Sheikhupura college. The two friends reunite at a hotel where the local literati drink chai, gossip, and grumble. With Derrida looming in the men\u2019s conversations, Columeau deftly renders provincial intellectual life and the search for faith, and creates a pitch-perfect sketch of a celebrity philosopher. His characters call to mind William James\u2019s once- and twice-born believers. There are echoes, too, of Joyce\u2019s \u201cA Little Cloud,\u201d in its bittersweet contrast of deeply serious study with smaller, daily pleasures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Simpson serves on the editorial committee that selects the prizewinners, along with board directors Kwame Anthony Appiah, William Beekman, Jeffrey Eugenides, Stephen Gaghan, Radhika Jones, Jeanne McCulloch, John McWhorter, Ileene Smith, and Antonio Weiss.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/revel?mc_cid=fe742d53d3&amp;mc_eid=UNIQID\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/revel?mc_cid%3Dfe742d53d3%26mc_eid%3DUNIQID&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1741286564937000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1bxcHqqEt8btdMkYrurN4V\">Tickets<\/a> are still available for the Spring Revel.
