‘such profound opacities’

I really loathe the idea that all points in a fiction must be clear, followed-up on, and understandable like an instructional guidebook; life is just not like that. Even small moments in our lives contain such profound opacities.

—Stacey Levine, interviewed by Ted Pelton, Rain Taxi (Vol. 29, No. 2, Summer 2024)
