Major Book Announcement : Scorch Atlas by Blake Butler pre-sale/firefight

Scorch Atlas (destroyed) by Blake Butler from featherproof books on Vimeo.

Master and commander/Brother Butler/Crier of The Good Lit/Partygirlin Eater of Babies/W.I.B. BLAKE BUTLER has announced that his novel in stories, Scorch Atlas, can now be pre-bought before it’s 9/9/09 release date — and for a 33%off, i.e. $10! — from the inimitable Featherproof Books. And not only can they be paid for, but you can secure a limited edition ‘destroyed’ copy, i.e. a book that’s been punished brutally by our beloved friend Blake, & his company. Or, you know, you can just get a plain old regularly clean version of the book too, if that’s what you’re into.

I have been more excited to subsume this set of words than any other set of words in ________.

Buy this book.

I said buy it.

      Um, how could you not have put a dent in it after humping it? Blake? (Love the scene where you wipe your ass with it.) Now I know how much you love SCORCHED ATLAS!

      Who is the band?
