My #fridayreads, or, more specifically, the books I would like to start reading as soon as I’m finally done with this fucking book I won’t mention:
The Lola Quartet by Emily St. John Mandel, the Rumpus Book Club pick for April,
Goodbye, Flicker by Carmen Giménez Smith, the Rumpus Poetry Book Club pick,
A Brief History of Thought by Luc Ferry, and
Leaving the Atocha Station by Ben Lerner, strongly recommended by Barbara Browning and Tao Lin.
Sketch from our Doppelgangers reading with Adam Levin and Sara Levine by the fantastic Dmitry Samarov. Dmitry will read on May 8th at 7pm at Jimmy’s Woodlawn Tap with Jack Clark for our second Doppelgangers event. Guess we’ll just have to get Joe Peterson to sketch during Dmitry’s reading…
My #fridayreads for the next week and a half: the three most recent Rumpus Poetry Club books and the last couple of Rumpus Book Club books; some Robert Louis Stevenson because I’m obsessed now; Art Spiegelman’s Be a Nose! and Jack Green’s Fire the Bastards! (because I love titles with punctuation); the new NOON, and sweet, sexy magazines.
Update: bagel eaten, books untouched.
