The first was her new novella, Antiquities, published in April by Knopf. Here we have a new short story, &#8220;The Coast of New Zealand.&#8221; Normally at this time of year we have the annual double issue dedicated to fiction. I&#8217;m not sure why that hasn&#8217;t happened yet, but getting a new Ozick story is just as, if not more, exciting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m on holiday this week, so I&#8217;ve got this story with me, ready for a lull in the action.<\/p>\n<p>Please do let me know how you like the story in the comments below!
