Help sustain The Sun
|
Here at The Sun we aren’t working hard every day to sell the products of advertisers, or to enhance the profits of a publishing conglomerate, or to advance the aims of a particular religious or political group. We’re working for you.
Your tax-deductible donation will help ensure that the magazine doesn’t become another casualty of the recession. Please support The Sun during this critical time.

 When They Get To The Corner
Essay by Sy Safransky (July 2004)
“I know that only bad news travels this way, that Sara isn’t calling to tell me her older sister has just fallen in love or landed a great new job. I know, too, that I’d give anything right now to be able to utter some spell, part the veil between worlds, and step into an altogether different world — one in which the phone hasn’t just rung; one in which I’m not about to learn that my twenty-five-year-old daughter was in a car crash this morning, that her pelvis is fractured and she’s bleeding internally and her spinal cord might be injured. But I can’t find the curtain.”

Sun reader Wendy Loughlin writes: “I suffered a stroke in 2002 at the age of twenty-nine; so much of what Safransky writes reminds me of my own father and what he must have gone through with me.”
