Back among the living and back in The Baffler—what a beautiful one-two punch. “Chipper” opens like a gut punch in motion, and that first line is a masterclass in grabbing the reader by the collar. You always manage to make industrial life feel mythic, like there’s a dreamworld just beneath the grime and gears.
