This is a revolutionary moment in that everything is changing. But it’s not a revolution, because most of the forces we’re all reacting to (pandemic, injustice, a massive failure to find common moral ground) are not forces put into motion by ideas. They are forces born out of neglect, accident, circumstance, bloated and calcified systems. The theme of this issue of TLR poses an obvious question: Can literature be a force for change? Can it be revolutionary?
