Recent Focus Issue Shows Improvements
Mimi Rubin notes Focus issue two improves over the first, with stronger fiction and a sharper In Perspective. Shirley Henschel’s The Story of Willie Sonoma features strong character work and a moving conclusion, while Jina Politis’s QO Confession falters in stream of consciousness. Ann Besthoff profiles Eugenio Florit with clear translations, and Robert Lekachman’s Christmas satire argues wastefulness with pointed logic.
