The Railroad Woman
Oscar Cuevas, a Kansas native writing in Brooklyn, has appeared in BOMB, Cream City Review, Tampa Review, and elsewhere. His work has won the DIAGRAM Essay Contest, Joyce Carol Oates Nonfiction Award, and Raymond Carver Memorial Award for Short Fiction. A finalist for the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction from the University of Georgia Press and Bellingham Review’s Tobias Wolff Award for Fiction, he's held fellowships at MacDowell and Syracuse University. He's currently in the final-draft stages of grief—which is to say (God willing), nearing completion of his first novel after over a decade of work. See more at oscarcuevas.org.
