Elizabeth McCracken on the Mysteries of Married Life
Editor’s Note: Read Elizabeth McCracken’s new short story, “The Irish Wedding.” “The Irish Wedding” is taken from Elizabeth McCracken’s forthcoming collection of stories, The Souvenir Museum (available on April 13). To mark the story’s publication in The Atlantic, McCracken and Ena Alvarado, a former assistant editor of the magazine, discussed the story over email. Their conversation has been lightly edited for clarity.
