Here is a Bunch of Things!

That’s right–many things; one bunch of them.

Faster Times books editor and commenter-in-good-standing-here Lincoln Michel takes on David Shields’s Reality Hunger over at The Rumpus. I have to say that Lincoln’s review is thorough, even-handed and thought-provoking; but after reading it, I can’t imagine anything I’m less interested in reading than this book. I say read Lincoln’s piece and call it a day.

Julia Cohen went to a small press festival in Boulder, CO. Then she ate some crappy pizza from a place called Sexy Pizza. She also talks about the new issues of Horse Less Review and Ugly Duckling’s 6×6. Plus, you know, other stuff–flowers, her brother, March.

Valleywag blows the pickles off the Cheezburger empire–sort of.

Also, Borders is firing lotsa people.

And what the hell has John Gallaher been talking about lately? Well, he likes the new Double Room, he’s interested in the new Sawako Nakayasu book from Letter Machine, he says the Laurel Review is looking for reviewers, and he digs the paintings of Glennray Tutor (see above), whom you know as the guy whose works adorns several of Barry Hannah’s Grove-Atlantic covers. Here’s Tutor’s site.

      There’s also James Yeh’s take on “Eat When You Feel Sad” over at the Rumpus, by the by. Both Lincoln and James offer even-handed, insightful takes, I’d say.

      I flipped through the Shields book looking for things to make me mad, but I couldn’t really find anything. If I had, I’d be more interested in reading it.

      The Rumpus review of the Shields books is very good and very thorough.
