Tin House is having writers look at sentences. I chose a little Norman Douglas rant about flies.

LOLA is a new online film journal founded by Adrian Martin and Girish Shambu. In the first issue is an essay of mine about the Argentine director Lucrecia Martel.

The third issue of Cousin Corinne’s Reminder -BookCourt’s magazine of writing, visual art, and comics – is just out now.  I have some work in it.  

Despite noble efforts to the contrary, aphorisms continue to write themselves with the aid of my left hand. A few have even snuck into the latest issue of A Public Space.  Read the full contents here.

Up on their website are a couple of my fables.

On March 2 I’ll be reading at the venerable Cornelia Street Café in Greenwich Village, as part of Freerange Nonfiction’s eclectic monthly series. Also reading will be Julie Klam, Peter Hyman, and others. Details here!

Olu Dara is a marvelous cornet player, singer, and storyteller. I had the pleasure of interviewing him.

One staple of Tin House magazine is the ‘Lost and Found’ section, where writers talk personally about encounters with an old or neglected book they like. I have one in the new Summer Reading issue, about Paul Valéry’s Analects. Inside there’s also a great interview with Etgar Keret, and more.

On Friday, March 26 I’ll be doing a group reading with Claire Hero and others as part of the Earshot series in Williamsburg.
