Abstract

EDITOR'S NOTE JASON KYLE HOWARD he years changed things; destroyed things; heaped things Tup—worries and bothers; here they were again,” Virginia Woolf writes in The Years , the story of a family in London navigating the changes wrought by nearly sixty successive years of loss, family tensions, political strife, war, and heartache. True to life, some of the characters find 6 themselves encountering the same issues over and over again in subtle acts of eternal recurrence. Some are liberated, while others feel trapped, caught in one of time’s wrinkles. The pandemic has sometimes made me feel that way. Time has stood curiously still. And then it feels as if we are moving in warp speed, with a velocity that is fast and jarring, before things slow again to a near standstill. Some days are mind-numbingly the same; others have offered a measure of variety. One of my constants, of course, has been reading, and I have found myself returning to some of my favorite authors, such as Woolf and James Baldwin, for stability and wisdom. I hope this issue of Appalachian Review can provide some of that same anchoring. “Market Forces,” an excerpt from an upcoming novel by Mark
