I Have So Many Things to Tell You

June 1, 2010

So much good stuff going on, I have to share some of it with you:

At always-good Dark Sky, Mel Bosworth has been reading other people’s words, and rather capably, too.  Today he reads my little story, “The Wives Are Turning Into Animals.” I love his creepy-but-restrained reading.  I would post the video here but then you wouldn’t go over there, would you? And you really, really should.

One of your favorite writers and mine, Roxane Gay, is Necessary Fiction’s writer in residence for June! All month long, she will be featuring some of her favorite writers  and some of her own pieces and demonstrating why fiction is, indeed, necessary.

THIS is at the American Museum of Natural History. I have no choice but to go, given my one-century-too-late fascination with polar exploration.

Jen at JMWW has a terrific interview today with Dawn Raffel. (How come I don’t look that cool in any of my pictures?)

Did you love Lost? Throw things at your teevee during the last episode? You MUST read this fabulous essay, doubtless the most literary thing ever written about Lost, by Jennifer Spiegel. It’s more than great.

And remember, peeps–it’s Tuesday. TUESDAY. Get it straight.
