Electric Literature in the NY Times. Geez.
Rick Moody is doing a story over 3 days via Twitter. Incorporating technology into literature all willy-nilly is bad for literary innovation.
w/r/t the electric lit article: wtf
also, because it’s mean week, i recently worked a flea market booth next to the elec. lit guys, or somebody affiliated with them, i don’t know, and i asked them some questions and they gave me rude, curt answers. later in the day i needed change and asked them to break a five and they said no.
damn.

i feel like by the time the NYT gets around to writing about something, it’s already like grandpa’s dead foot skin. anyone catch their recent article about this “new” type of music called dubstep?

How exactly does someone “come up with the idea of Twitter fiction after he fell in love with the new form.” ? In related news, I came up with the idea of the epic poem after thoroughly enjoying the work of Homer.
It’s been around for literally two years. Whether or not you’d want to read someone tweeting a story every ten minutes for three straight days (which is what he’ll probably do) is another issue entirely.

Sure. And Hemingway’s apocryphal six word story. But I mean, this exact same thing. Twitter and all. Already done, been done every day, for years. Even if you’re the first person to popularize something, you are not the creator. Meh.

Those guys look like the kind of people your significant other introduces you to in passing and then later on says “I made out with them briefly look two years ago” and for like 5 minutes you’re concerned because they seem more attractive, generally, than you, but really you know they don’t have much besides a pretty cool jacket or pants that seem to fit really well.
Cunningham was probably really stoked when he got their acceptance letter/letter begging for submission.

Yeah, Gene, and where the fuck has Cunningham been? By “more interesting” does he mean “use my work”
let’s go to the bar and drink ephimere, oh you don’t know it? it’s from Canada… and then let’s hit on your girlfriend. Our rent is really high. We publish a magazine.
fuck.

Action Yes.
Action Yes.
“In its first two issues, this year, the magazine showcased some of the country’s best writers — Michael Cunningham, Colson Whitehead, Lydia Davis, Jim Shepard — and created the kind of buzz that is a marketer’s dream.”
There is not a marketer alive who dreams of trying to sell a literary journal to the public. Not one. Ever.

Really? I have no idea how/why that happened. That whole flea market thing was an initiative to get indie presses together, support each other, and build community. Tables were staffed by unpaid volunteers (including us). I sat there many times, and sold many titles – from A Public Space to Shoplifting at American Apparel to Ugly Duckling Presse chapbooks – talking them all up and being friendly to all who approached. If someone was rude and/or refused to give you change, it was totally against the spirit and point of the whole enterprise.

Andy,
from everything I saw over the handful of times I worked the flea market, it definitely seemed like your table was doing a good job talking to the shoppers, and you had a good selection of journals and books.
I don’t know, maybe I caught one of your volunteers on a bad day. And maybe he really didn’t have five singles. It had been raining all morning and it was slow.
