Street-Shooters.

The Sartorialist lets you take a good long look at what regular-ish city people have on. And over here you can stare at stars who aren't looking back.

Amazon!

Famous Fathers can now be pre-ordered and I promise, your copy will come with a cover.

Sans Farine.

Run - vit! - to the newsstand while there's still time and buy the November issue of Harper's so you can read Jim Shepard's tour de force about an executioner during the time of the French Revolution. Then sit and enjoy an interview with friends who happen to be Catholic. You'll be glad I found you.

Swimming With Mao.

A fine and tender memoir by writer, Xujun Eberlein, in The Walrus.

Working Down.

I had the great and nervous pleasure of interviewing writer, Ron Carlson, for Quick Fiction. Issue 10's on its way to you, if you subcribe to this literary jewel.

Mid-City.

Menacing weather turned most of my pastel neighborhood into black and white.

Famous Fathers And Other Stories.

Looks like MacAdam/Cage's publication date for my short story collection is June 2007. I'm anxious, nervous, impatient, grateful, and ready.

Kiki Smith.


(From a recent show at Barbara Krakow Gallery)


Yesterday, in the Sunday New York Times Magazine.

"The image I have," (Kiki Smith's longtime friend, Tom Otterness) continues, "is of her plunging her hand into her chest and pulling out her heart and her guts and saying: 'You think you make personal work? Well, try this.' Her art goes further than everyone else's, I think. She's willing to go anywhere with it, and sometimes I'm just left dumbfounded. She's fearless. Totally fearless."


"Sojourner" 2006 in progress

Hottest Bands In Canada - 2006.

So says I (Heart) Music. Am I crazy and alone over here in my quest to hear every good song ever written in the world? The slower and sadder the better.

Here are some of the stops I make to gawk, jawdrop & gather (this guy writes like a gentle fiend), sample, and then there's Thomas Bartlett who writes the Audiofile column for Salon.

TothWorld.

Listen to fiction writers, Myfanwy Collins and Claudia Smith, for starters, read their work on this sensory laden site - the brain child of writer, Paul Toth.

Brilliant Writer, Brilliant Decision.

The first book from Emerging Writers Network's new imprint will be Roy Kesey's short story collection - ALL OVER. No exaggeration: while I just read EWN's news release, church bells were ringing two blocks away. I'm so happy for Roy, and for Dan Wickett.
