WEEKEND READIN’ – OUR OWN STUFF

You thought you were gonna hightail it out of town early and go see your family but your flight’s been canceled. You’re not going anywhere until Monday at least and you’re bummed. It’s really shitty out and even though you really should go see Ssion tonight you’re just not gonna make it. Now’s when you become a shut-in and check out our Fiction Issue, which we’ve been supplementing online with story time read-alouds. That sexy robot-voiced lady at Whole Foods who dispels you from your cattle line to your very own human cashier reads Carlton Mellick III, illustrator-witch Dame Darcy reads Lisa Carver, a guy with a Scottish accent reads Will Self, and our publisher’s little brother reads Barry Gifford. And then there’s a bunch of other stuff up there too, like syllabi from Mary Gaitskill and Rivka Galchen and Jim Shepard, some interviews, some fake letters, and…hey, why the hell are you still reading this post? Go burn your eyes somewhere else on the site already.
