Internet Artifact: Woman interviews Dog
Found an awesome thing on the internet the other day: an interview between a woman and a dog as written by an entity that is neither dog nor woman: Specifically, it was written by David Stromberg, a writer and artist who has a graphic book coming out from Melville House this fall. Woman & Dog interview below…
1.Did you always know you were my dog?
Yes, no, yes.
2. How do you feel, having no ultimate control over
your life, having your own decisions be meaningless?
I have control, I could pee now, or later, or I could
poop.
3. But if you poop at the wrong time, if you poop at
home, for example, then you get your face in your
poop, I know you don’t like that.
If I didn’t like it I wouldn’t do it where you could
see it.
*I can’t quite figure out the circumstances under which this interview/fiction/thing was published. It seems to be a personal website, but not Stromberg’s website, I think? If anyone can explain this to me leave a comment.

If you haven’t seen Derek’s art, shit, it’s pretty wild and beautiful and amalgamatic:

I think I’ll read Suicide Squeeze by Victor Gischler this week. I loved The Pistol Poets. Anthony Neil Smith, of, among other things, Plots with Guns fame, is guest blogging over at Gischler’s site. Someday, I ‘ll write a longer post on Smith and the fantastic Plots with Guns ( featuring great work by Kyle Minor, Barry Graham, Pinckney Benedict and others in the past years), but check out all the links for now.

American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince is a 1978 documentary directed by Martin Scorsese. Steven is a fascinating guy and top-notch raconteur. The whole documentary can be watched on YouTube. A sequel, American Prince, has been made & released exclusively via torrent form, and can be downloaded here.
Excerpt from “Footnote to Howl” by Allen Ginsberg
The frequent commenter and all around nice man Ryan W. Bradley once told me that his mother gave him Howl to read when he was ten. This made me go buy Howl from the great City Light Books. James Blake will play Andy Murray in the final of Queens, the lead up event to Wimbledon. I just finished reading an old One Story story ( I subscribed at one time, I no longer do, but those little stories are scattered around my house) called “Selling the Apartment” by Danit Brown. It was written in the second person. Wells Tower wrote in the second person once and I liked that story, but it was really short. READ MORE >
The Red Cavalry Riding
Just a quick hello from St. Petersburg. The trip has gone well so far. We’ve seen quite a lot of ‘stuff.’ I’m a bit overwhelmed now. I’ll try to put together some posts about some of my favorites when I get back this coming Monday. For now, I’ll leave you with the above painting titled ‘The Red Cavalry Riding’ by Kazimir Malevich. It’s hanging in the State Russian Museum and I liked staring at it very much.
