i wrote a review of the new roberto bolano novel, the skating rink, for the faster times.

i was filmed by luca dipierro and michael kimball for their movie 60 writers/60 places.
i'm pretty excited about this. on a side note, michael's novel dear everybody is beautiful. i have not read it yet, but hearing him read it, i am convinced of it's urgency, poignancy and control of language. it's pretty fucking dope. michael also guest-edited this recent issue of lamination colony, maybe the sweetest online lit thing i've ever seen.
