Welcome to The Water Is So Wide
Welcome! The Water Is So Wide is a Substack newsletter featuring serialized fiction by Julie Weigley. Raising philosophical questions via fiction. New chapters posted every other Friday.
The title for my Substack—as well as for the first of my novels presented here—was taken from the Mark Knopfler song, Je Suis Désolé:

What you’ll find here:
The work in progress currently being featured, Four Months in May. A quarantine fever dream. A love letter to resilience. An ode to energy, optimism, and a future as bright and scary as the unknown.
Also, two novels previously posted here on Substack:
The Water Is So Wide. A novella composed of a series of interconnecting vignettes that examine the persistence of love and art, and the universality of that persistence.
Beautiful but Unlikely. Coming of age and taking the measure of a man in the late 1980s. Turning the inward gaze outward.
Thank you. And, happy reading!
