My conversation with writer Holly Sykes was the first of two columns to be published by Cha: An Asian Literary Journal last weekend. Holly talks with insight and charm about how it feels to map loss and loneliness in a crowded city – and how loss overlaps with connection.
The story is illustrated with art and photography by Kasra Shroff, Rebecca Dandridge-Walker and Ricky Sadiosa. Thanks, as ever, to editor Tammy Lai-Ming Ho for the care and attention you put into each piece.
