"Sleepwalking Towards Bethlehem," by David J. Frost, published in The Missouri Review, July 2026

My essay is behind the paywall on the website of The Missouri Review. But a PDF is available through Project MUSE.

Project MUSE is the best link, or maybe this one is:

You cannot embed a PDF here on Substack. I downloaded the PDF and embedded it into a page on my personal website. That’s the second link.

Soon, but not yet, I will cut and paste and reformat the entire essay and make it available here on Substack.
