Lara JK Wilson

I just discovered this writer in a deeply moving first-person story in Chelsea 74 (the current issue). In "Soon and Very Soon," a grotesquely obese, bed-bound woman tries to tell us how she got that way, and her story is so sad and so real that it will change how I look at people we ordinarily want to shun. The magazine Chelsea is not on line, but you can see another of Wilson's stories here: Book Magazine
