J. Robert Lennon is offering a free ebook, titled Video Game Hints, Tricks, And Cheats, at jrobertlennon.com. It’s a collection of “Essays, exercises, riffs, gags, and other incidental writings, from 1997 through 2010. First version of what will be an occasionally updated collection, I hope.” I downloaded the PDF version to my Kindle. It’s enjoyable.

He’s also posted video of his craft talk “In the Presence of Absence, or: Thanks, Blanks!” which he presented last June at the Colgate Writers’ Conference. I repost it here:

While I’m poaching all his good links, might as well point you to two things from The Walrus: an essay on Margaret Atwood’s post-Handmaid’s Tale career, and an interview with Walrus editor Jared Bland about Lennon’s own writing.

God bless the Internet.
