Power and Powerlessness in Alexander Chee’s Essay “The Querent.”

On July 8, 2018, I published my first critical essay in literature for Ploughshares, titled “Power and Powerlessness in Alexander Chee’s Essay The Querent.”

I am very excited about this essay. Not only because it gave me an opportunity to delve deeper into the wonderful writings of Alexander Chee, but because being published by Ploughshares is something that I have been striving for . With this essay being published on Ploughshares’s blog, I need to set a new goal for myself.

In the words of my friend, the Australian, I shall return.
