Metamorphica July 10, 2018

A brilliant and daring novel that reimagines Ovid's Metamorphoses. In the tradition of his bestselling debut novel The Lost Books of the Odyssey, Zachary Mason's Metamorphica transforms Ovid's epic poem of endless transformation. It reimagines the stories of Narcissus, Pygmalion and Galatea, Midas and Atalanta, and strings them together like the stars in constellations—even Ovid becomes a story. It's as though the ancient mythologies had been rewritten by Borges or Calvino; Metamorphica is an archipelago in which to linger for a while; it reflects a little light from the morning of the world.

Nuclear Intentions and Implied Preemption 2018

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYSDEC") has denied subsidiaries of the Entergy Corporation a Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certificate for the cooling systems at the Indian Point Energy Center. This action effectively forces Entergy to construct cooling towers to continue operating, and might force Entergy to close the nuclear power plant because the cost of building new cooling systems would be prohibitively expensive.
