30 Under 30, Arrived

Just received my two contributor's copies for 30 Under 30, "an anthology of innovative fiction by younger authors," edited by Blake Butler and Lily Hoang. Other contributors in the anthology include Joshua Cohen, Rachel Glaser, Mike Young, Shane Jones, Andrea Kneeland, and many others.

Love the cover, which is by Zach Dodson, who is also a contributor.

Psyched to dig in.

Wigleaf Top 50 Very Short Fictions of 2011

‎Wigleaf selected their Top 50 Very Short Fictions of 2011. I'm honored to say that Saša Stanišić's Gigantic-published "Let's Go Sleep Japan Soon" was selected by selecting editor Lily Hoang, along with my own Andrew Bulger-collaborated-with story “Girl with Cool, Damp Mouth."

It's exciting (and flattering) that this is the second year in a row a Gigantic-published story has been included in Wigleaf's Top 50. In 2010 selecting editor Brian Evenson selected Carmen Lau's "Nothing Has Changed about Me," as well as a piece by my good buddy (and fellow Gigantic editor) Lincoln Michel.
 
Many thanks to Wigleaf, the selecting editors, and, most of all, our wonderful Gigantic contributors!
