What’s democratic about online literature?

Posted on January 27, 2011 | Leave a comment

The great people at Zine-Scene published my review of Earl Wynn’s three magazines (Weirdyear, Daily Love, Yesteryear). I argue they’re examples of the new “democratized” literary community developing online.

Also, two book reviews:  James Kaelen’s “We’re Getting On” and Jaspreet Singh’s “Chef” at Full Stop.

New essay at Luna Park.

Posted on October 26, 2010 | Leave a comment

Luna Park put up my essay “A Manual for Readers,” a spin-off of Donald Barthelme’s “Manual for Sons.” This one is about stories instead of fathers.
