AWP’s March madness

The literary magazine one story is hosting an air hockey tournament of litmags and independent presses. It’ll be going on each day of the conference; right about now Tin House is facing off against Small Beer.

Today I went to two panels, neither of which knocked my socks off. That’s the nature of these things: a couple panels will be great. Most will not. So I’ll spare you the rant about the really lame panelist until I have something nice to say.

Late this afternoon, Francine Prose will talk with Walter Mosley about writing. Part of me wants to go. Part of me fears it’ll be so gradschool-y I’ll want to poke my eyes out with a swizzle stick. Which part will win?

About the author

I like sitting in Jack Webb's booth.
