The Knox Writers’ House, a List, a List.
1.
Three rad students from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois (Sam Conrad, Emily Oliver and Bryce Parsons-Tweston) came to my house today to record my voice. They started driving around the Midwest in June talking to over 80 writers about their work, recording audio poems and stories in each place they stopped. Now they're in the South. This massive project will result in an impressive collection of voices that will be presented and archived on their eventual website "The Knox Writers' House." They are backed by grants and stuff. They sleep on couches. They are super nice.
They recorded me reading the following: Excerpted chapters from Flowing in the Gossamer Fold, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 & 11 (the book has 40 chapters). Two short stories: Tattered, Velvet, Ocean & Smother.
They also ask each writer they record to read somethings from people they admire: I read dolemite by Sean Kilpatrick, Three Boys Who Thought Experimental Fiction Was For Pussies by Dennis Cooper, and The Well by Jesse Ball.
I'll let you know when the recordings are up, probably sometime early to mid next year. I don't want to spoil the surprise but when The Knox Writers’ House launches you're going to be treated to some awesome stuff.
2.
Maybe consider subscribing to the 2011 Mud Luscious complete print collection.
3.
Maybe consider adding Flowing in the Gossamer Fold to your goodreads queue, that would be nice.
4.
Robot Melon.
5.
Blue Square Press is very excited about Jack Boettcher's forthcoming book Theater-State. We'll have a lot more information about it at the beginning of the new year.
6.
I started a collaboration thing with Brandi Wells.
7.
The Moon Tonight Feels My Revenge.
8.
Dogfish Head 90 min IPA.
9.
A lot of fires. It is cold.
10.
All of her teeth were scattered.
And then people were holding them like diamonds.
11.
Burnaway authors on art: Shane Jones, Heather Christle.

Happy holidays.

A full plate of pulled pork bbq nachos was a bad idea. 1/2 plate would have sufficed.

2010
I made a list of things in 2009. Here is my 2010 list.
(Some) Books:
Eugene Marten, Firework. I had the pleasure of chatting with Eugene at a reading in Atlanta. If you get a chance to see him read, do it. His delivery is as deadly as his sentences.
Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim.
William Gibson, Spook Country.
Amanda Goldblatt, Catalpa. Amanda edits Super Arrow. I like Amanda.
Peter Markus, The Singing Fish and Good, Brother.
Matt Bell, Wolf Parts. It's sold out but you can download the audio book for free here.
Dennis Cooper, Ugly Man: Stories.
Shane Jones, the failure six. This is my favorite Shane Jones book.
Justin Taylor, Everything here is the best thing ever. I'm not a huge fan of story collections but this one is great. Looking forward to whatever Justin does next.
Zachary Schomburg, Scary, No scary. One of my favorite collections of poetry, it will not let you down.
Patrik Ourednik, Europeana.
Movies:
Cache
The Secret in Their Eyes
Holy Mountain
