“Though alien to the world’s ancient past, young blood runs similar circles. All those bones are born from four grandparents. Baby teeth and baby teeth all down the line. Jackets didn’t used to zip up. There wasn’t a single door. The ground sits around us dumb and keeping secrets.”

      Oh cool, good looking out, Mike. Thanks!

  5. Brett

      The cover appears, at least to me, almost Dostoyevskian, if you will. I could picture, if he was alive and writin today, seeing that as the cover for The Brothers Karamazov :p

  6. Ryan Call

      the cover is of the holy spirit and a disciple putting his finger into the wound. cant member which one did that…

      that’s Jesus, not the Holy Spirit. well, trinity theory, whatever. it is, and at the same time is not. but we know that it isn’t more than it is.

      but yeah, the cover is really beautiful. I think I’m going to buy the book more or less on the basis of that, as well as for the last sentence up there.

      however:
      use / used
      run / ran

      I covet this book. It’s event. Just look at this excerpt. Rachel is a new force employing free yet controlled brilliance of line and craft.

      I am really excited for this. Pee On Water (the story) made me cry a little when I first read it in WAC.

  19. stephen

  20. Donald

      I love the fact that somewhere in the world there are some anchovies saying the words “employing free yet controlled brilliance of line and craft”.

      Anchovies sounds like a douche. What does he think this is? The back of the book? Is he practicing his blurbing for the near-to-come dawn when the world of great writers will forego a Lipsite in favor of the “coveted” Anchovian blurbal apprasal? Lame.

  38. gene

      yeah it definitely made me feel something new. although, let’s not forget that it originally ran in NY TYRANT and gian was cool as a motherfucker to let me run it again. that issue sold out from jump and i knew people had to read that story. had to.
