Christopher Sorrentino reviews Steve Erickson’s Zeroville for the LA Times.
Will Zeroville make the best-of-07 lists? Not PW’s, which published its long, pretty good list on Nov. 5. Premature, or have they already read everything that’ll be out by year’s end?
Richard Lange, another LA writer with a good book (Dead Boys) not on the list, is interviewed: part 1, part 2.
The editor of Juked, JW Wang, tells all about his excellent literary magazine.
Thomas Beller reviews Maynard & Jennica for the NY Times.
Just because: The Boombox Museum.
Motown is down with the Emerging Writers Network.
Gewnda has redesigned her blog and Christopher’s, too. Cute!
Anne on the art of losing things: keys, people.
Norman Mailer remembered: by Louis Menand, David Ulin, Michiko Kakutani and Charles McGrath, Scott Rosenberg, Gawker (at its best), the Guardian, the Philly Inquirer, Brando, Germaine Greer and others, more links from Mark.
Zeroville was fantastic. One of Erickson’s best. I recently conducted an in depth interview with Erickson over at ChuckPalahniuk.net
He gives some great answers:
