With two Kansas City area readings coming up, and a few people asking me what the heck an author reading is, I decided to make this quick video, as a bumper of sorts, to preface any future events. If this doesn’t get people in the door, what the hell will?
What are the upcoming events? Glad you asked. Here:
Part three of what may be the most interesting dialog I’ve ever had with another human being (I’ve had plenty of good ones with dogs) is now live at the Sunday Observer. Pablo D’Stair and I talk all sorts of shop. In his installment we compare publishing to marathon running (but not in that long haul, endurance cliche way that you might be thinking) and also what sort of accolades should be involved, if any, in publishing.
Then, be sure to read part one and part two as well.

Part two of what may be the most interesting dialog I’ve ever had with another human being (I’ve had plenty of good ones with dogs) is now live at the Sunday Observer. Pablo D’Stair and I talk all sorts of shop. In his installment we talk about a world without context, the reader as an audience, music, and more. Seriously, and I’m not just saying this because I’m involved, there is some damn good stuff going on here.
Read part two, here.
Then, be sure to read part one as well.
Extree, extree, this just in, Caleb tells you why you may have shitty taste in books. New article at Slothrop.com just went live, titled “Why You Will Never Stop Reading Books by that Shitty Author You Secretly Love.” A taste:
My goal here, it would seem, is to strip away the magic and aesthetic pleasure from the reading experience until all that remains is a conscious system of if/thens made to cultivate so much data and worry that you’d be better to build an apocalypse bunker, devoid of all text, than to crease the spine of a highly anticipated blockbuster from James Patterson (though, you’d be wise to avoid the latter no matter my intentions with this blog post). Yes, it seems that way. But no. Rather, it is important to understand the very basics of the free will argument if we are to at all suppose books as a unique medium.
Head over to Slothrop to read the post. Leave a comment. Let Phil know how much you love the article. Maybe he will have me back.
