100 Story Collections @Bookriot

Honored to be included. And, especially cool to get to hang with people and books I know. I’ve been on panels with so many of these fine folk—that makes it sound like I’m talking about elves—and . . . I did my doctoral work with one, I guess. Rode elevators and had meals with others. […]

Locus Poll

Voting’s open, and soon to close. Cool to be listed with so many good writers—cool for Mapping the Interior, anyway. I’m just the dude who wrote it. https://locusmag.com/2018-locus-poll-and-survey/

I’m one of these judges, in what looks to be a cool competition: https://literarytaxidermy.com

Heavy Day

I mean, like, literally. Each of these boxes are about fifty pounds, I’d guess: Also the other kind of heavy, though—the Back to the Future kind of heavy, except this is about the past: those are all my papers. Every manuscript, all my undergraduate and graduate files, a bit of teaching stuff, my PhD comps,

Amazing-cool. So honored. Couldn’t be there this time around, but could follow along online, and with people texting. It starts here: Then a zoom in on the night’s proceedings: Then Rena Mason and Victor LaValle presenting for Mapping‘s category, long fiction: And here’s Paul Tremblay accepting, with Mackenzie Kiera behind the camera: Here’s a full

The Facebook

In a few thousands years, I figure the aliens that come to dig through humanity’s (many, many) relics will find a thin strata of light blue in these early-is 2000s: https://www.wired.com/story/inside-facebook-mark-zuckerberg-2-years-of-hell/

Happiness is a dog and a book

For added spookiness, I recommend reading this book while a pug watches you. Bonus points if he’s pretending to sleep, but isn’t. pic.twitter.com/a1F0oSGhc3 — paperbacksandpugs (@paperbacksnpugs) January 26, 2018

I’ll never forget them, nor The Lathe of Heaven, The Left Hand of Darkness, and “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” is forever in me. Here’s Margaret Atwood, bidding her farewell: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jan/24/ursula-k-le-guin-margaret-atwood-tribute
