Volume 15 Issue 12

  • Harold Bloom

    Harold Bloom is the preeminent literary critic in the world, and as such he is perhaps the last of a dying breed.

  • A Conversation With The Porn Rangers

    I put my headphones on and began to watch a hirsute man, probably early 40s, receive oral sex from a thin-lipped woman of commensurate age. The byline in block letters read, “BJ From the Wife.”

  • Max Brooks

    Anybody who cares about the state of the world and what happens to people when disease and wars happen should read World War Z by Max Brooks. It’s a fictional oral history of “the zombie war.”

  • The Putti

    Will Self’s books are about stuff like a woman growing a penis and raping her abusive husband (Cock and Bull). I mean, he’s Will Self. It’s a pretty big deal.

  • Goodbye

    Simon Crump was born in Leicestershire. After crawling out of the middle of the Midlands he found himself being an internationally exhibited artist and lecturing in fine art and photography.

  • The Field

    A master of the short story, Beattie first gained recognition with Chilly Scenes of Winter and Distortions. She scathingly shredded on yuppies way before the rest of America blamed them for everything.

Annoncering
  • Two Stories

    Mike Sacks has written for Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ, The New Yorker, Time, McSweeney’s, Radar, MAD, New York Observer, Premiere, Believer, Maxim, and Salon.

  • Sad Stories Of The Death Of Kings

    It’s no wonder that David Lynch made two of his best films when he adapted Barry Gifford's Wild at Heart and then asked him to cowrite the script for Lost Highway.

  • Six Stories

    Gangemi is the author of The Volcanoes From Puebla, a criminally underappreciated title that critics like to label “transfiction” when really it’s just a damn good book.

  • Bad Dog

    Ferrigno is best known for his crime novels. After college he spent half a decade as a professional gambler until getting down to brass tacks and writing ten novels.

  • Wild America

    Wells has written for Harper’s, the New Yorker, the Washington Post Magazine, and many more.

  • Ivor Cutler

    In a perfect world everyone’s grandfather would be a kindly yet razor-sharp old goof just like Ivor Cutler (and we’d also be able to fly).
