The Brussels Review - Summer 2025 is a vibrant showcase of international literature, featuring fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that challenges and resonates. With contributors from five continents, this issue offers a panoramic view of contemporary voices, each distinct in style yet united by a commitment to form and depth.
Highlights include:
Fiction:
- Motion Picture Sickness by Beatriz Seelaender: A metafictional novella where actors vanish from film upon death, confronting fame, identity, and the ethics of representation.
- Some Gifts by Gaye Brown: A personal essay on altruism, sacrifice, and the shifting meaning of generosity, grounded in memory and moral ambiguity.
- The Word Thief by Patrick ten Brink: A haunting tale of obsession, grief, and language, where the right words can heal or destroy.
Poetry:
- Sonnet Mondal: Fragments of Life and The Biscuit Factory-meditative poems on memory, tradition, and decay.
- Yelena Moskovich, Christina Brannon, and Paul O'Brien: Poetic sequences ranging from lyrical minimalism to textured introspection.
