Daniel Green’s review of Divorcer is wonderful. A taste: The formal patterns that emerge are both a result of and a natural aesthetic complement to the singular sentences that constitute his work. If individual sentences in a sense leave us suspended in their word twists and serpentine syntax, the stories in which they appear do [...]

New Gary Lutz Interview!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Andrew Martin, Big Other, Gary Lutz, John Madera, The Paris Review on December 13, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Check out Andrew Martin’s excellent interview with Gary Lutz at The Paris Review Daily, their blog. Once again, Lutz shines as he self-deprecatingly answers questions, claiming to “suffer from E.D.—Experience Deficit”; implants the ordinal for zero; and offers glimpses into his perspicacious writing process:
Pop-up Books: An Homage
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Andy Warhol, Blake Butler, Bradford Morrow, Elvis, Gary Lutz, MC Escher, Pop-up books, Rick Moody on November 14, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Last week, as I was picking up some films from the library of my alma mater, the University of New Hampshire, I stumbled onto their small but feisty exhibition on pop-up books (running through Dec. 15th, should you find yourself there). I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it definitely wasn’t the first thing that [...]

There is a wonderful article by John Latta at his blog about Marianne Moore, Gary Lutz, and their aesthetics. “…it occurs to me that the inheritor of…Moore’s lovely rhythmic sense…is Gary Lutz.”
Gary Lutz’s Divorcer: A Word-Hoard
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged A Word-Hoard, Big Other, Divorcer, Gary Lutz, John Madera, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on August 9, 2011 | 7 Comments »
Gary Lutz is easily one of my favorite writers. I’ve read each of his collections at least twice, and I find myself revisiting stories from them from time to time; and I’ve sought out and found much, I think, of what has yet to be collected, like small pieces in various issues of The Quarterly, [...]

New Gary Lutz Interview!

A Gary Lutz interview is always an event, an event horizon, really, a boundary, too, beyond which a reader, like me, cannot resist its almost gravitational pull.
Amy Hempel’s ‘Offertory’
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Amy Hempel, Gary Lutz on September 14, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I’ve read about half of Hempel’s collected stories but none seem so seminal as this one. It’s one of her longer stories, 34 pages, and it hums along quite confidently after this wonderfully evocative and lyrical opening paragraph: We did it twelve times–made love, all of us, to one another twelve times, the two of [...]

I was going to lay off those years for a change, but here were people in what might have been asking attitudes, and from the whole of what I might have told them, I said only that in me they had yet another girl who had gone as far as she could get in life [...]
Writers Stew: Mangla vs. Gerke

Recently I sat down at my computer and had some exchanges with Ravi Mangla. Ravi lives Fairport, New York (near Rochester). His work has or will appear in Gargoyle, Annalemma, Sleepingfish and others. He created a site called Recommended Reading last May. Close to fifty writers have weighed in with lists and entertaining answers to Ravi’s questions. His [...]
Are You a Grammar, Usage, and Style Junkie?

Have you heard about Ammon Shea, the man who’d read all twenty volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary and then written a memoir about it? When I’d heard about him I became jealous. Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted to read an entire dictionary. I’ve never done it though. I have, however, read some [...]
