from Chris Heavener, editor / publisher of Annalemma: I’d like to introduce our latest print effort, Annalemma Issue Seven: Endurance. Earlier this year an exploded oil rig was gushing millions of gallons of crude directly into a fragile ecosystem, unemployment in the US was the highest in decades and the economy was at standstill. Things [...]

Month of Gratitude: Thanks, Log Lady!

From Twin Peaks, Episode 10 (2003): “Letters are symbols. They are building blocks of words which form our languages. Languages help us communicate. Even with complicated languages used by intelligent people, misunderstanding is a common occurrence. We write things down sometimes–letters, words–hoping they will serve us and those with whom we wish to communicate. Letters and words, calling [...]

from Ken Sparling’s Book: “There was something incursive in the skin of the apple, which sat on the car seat abandoned like the crust of something at the edge of a place no one ever goes in a world we can’t imagine during a time in the distant future when silver planets rip natural laws [...]
Month of Gratitude: Thanks, Robert Steiner!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Negative Space, Robert Steiner on November 3, 2010 | 10 Comments »
I’m in the middle of writing a review of Robert Steiner’s Negative Space, after having read it twice. It’s a marvelous novella mapping the mania of a cuckolded man, featuring lyrically meandering sentences, like this one: “Smoldering ruins can occupy a panorama the way from our terrace I witness the olive grove, and the sea [...]
For Your Consideration
Posted in Uncategorized on November 2, 2010 | 10 Comments »
“The truth is that a man’s sense of the world dictates his subjects to him and that this sense is derived from his personality, his temperament, over which he has little control and possibly none, except superficially. It is not a literary problem. It is the problem of his mind and nerves. These sayings [...]

Janice Shapiro’s BUMMER
Posted in Uncategorized on November 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Janice Shapiro’s book of stories BUMMER was released by Soft Skull today. I’ve been waiting along time for this, so that I can tell people to go read this book (which I had the opportunity to read as a manuscript). It’s really excellent. These stories read like natural narratives, like looking at the knots in [...]

Bite of Schutt
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Christine Schutt on November 1, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Last Thursday I saw Christine Schutt read her story ‘The Blood Jet’ at the Housing Works Bookstore in Manhattan. I’ve been to over one-hundred readings by fiction writers but this was the most moving. It wasn’t that she performed it so much as she channeled it. But of course what better reader was there? Schutt [...]
