nFeaturing new work from Rebecca Makkai, Aleksandar Hemon, Rachel Khong, Louise Erdrich, and more, the tenth and final installment of the boundary-pushing literary journal Freemans, which explores all the ways of coming to an endn nOver the course of ten years, Freemans has introduced the English-speaking world to countless writers of international import and acclaim, from Olga Tokarczuk to Valeria Luiselli, while also spotlighting brilliant writers working in English, from Tommy Orange to Tess Gunty. Now, in its last issue, this unique literary project ponders all the ways of reaching a fitting conclusion.n nFor Sayaka Murata, keeping up with the comings and goings of fashion and its changing emotional landscapes can mean being left behind, while in her poem Amenorrhea, Julia Alvarez experiences the end of a line as menstruation ceases. Yet sometimes an end is merely a beginning, as Barry Lopez meditates while walking through the snowy Oregonian landscapes. While Chinelo Okparantas story Fatu confronts the end of a relationship under the specter of new life, other writers look towards aging as an opportunity for rebirth, such as Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, who takes on the role of being her own elder, comforting herself in the ways that her grandmother used to. Finally, in his comic story Everyone at Dinner Has a Max von Sydow Story, Dave Eggers suggests that sometimes stories dont have neat or clean endings--that sometimes the middle is enough.n nWith new writing from Sandra Cisneros, Colum McCann, Omar El Akkad, and Mieko Kawakami, Freemans: Conclusions is a testament to the startling power of literature to conclude in a state of beauty, fear, and promise. n
