You Destroyed Everything by Meredith Turits

Our parents were young, loaded, and deep into their careers in international finance, as well as their self-absorbed storybook romance. My father, American with a mother from France, and my mother, French Canadian, had met in business school in Montreal, married quickly, and planted their shallow roots. When they were barely thirty, Anaïs and I happened accidentally, but our births didn’t stop their business ventures and European trysts.

Above is a selection from the short story You Destroyed Everything, by Meredith Turits.

Read that and more than a dozen other inspiring and incredible works from the newest issue of Podium, the 92nd Street Y Unterberg Poetry Center’s literary journal produced by students in our creative writing program.
