“Such things have been revealed to me that what I have written seems but straw.”
Just got the galleys of my story collection, Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever, in the mail today!(!!!!) It’s massively exciting, and you can see pictures of them here. Meanwhile, all art everywhere–past, present and forthcoming–is instantly defeated by this thing’s being-in-the-world:

Bob Who?
I'm gonna need some ID.
Bob Dylan was stopped by the NJ police for looking “suspicious,” walking around a neighborhood in the rain and peeking into the window of a house for sale. The police asked Bob Dylan for identification and Bob Dylan said he didn’t have any. He said, “I’m Bob Dylan,” but the police didn’t believe him so they all walked back to Bob Dylan’s tour bus so he could get his ID. No word on whether or not Bob Dylan felt this was racist, a violation of his right to walk around in the rain or if he’ll be invited to the White House for a beer. Maybe he’ll get a good protest song out of it…?
Heehaw, the Book
What’s the funniest book you ever read? May not necessarily be the book that made you laugh the most.
Still going with Calvino, fella.
