Short Story, by Rivka Galchen

The short work of fiction, at the link below, is by the writer Rivka Galchen.  The story, "How I Became a Vet" (about a veterinarian), is from the March 13, 2023 issue of The New Yorker; it appeared on the magazine's website on March 6th. 

I think it is beautifully written, and beautifully conceived.

Here, too, is an interview with Ms. Galchen, about the story:

CNN interview

A good interview, with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky--conducted by Wolf Blitzer--aired on CNN this evening.   

The interview was broadcast during the network's 9-10 p.m. (ET) program.  The program has been without a permanent host since the December, 2021 departure of Chris Cuomo.
