Issue 11 Now Online



Issue 11 is now up, and our contributors in the Narratives section find, through their fiction, new and interesting ways to deal with relationships gone south, and our Poetics section contributor expresses his joy at your appearance in that crown! We also bring you the beautiful work of Sougwen Chung in our Gallery, and welcome back our series InDialogue, where writers and artists talk to each other about, well, anything they want to talk to each other about. Here, two long-time members of the InDigest family, Meakin Armstrong and Sam Osterhout, discuss, among other things, the fate of the funny man, growing old, and why Meakin’s characters don’t have enough sense to get themselves out of the damn basement.

And remember, if you're in New York stop by (le) Poisson Rouge the first Wednesday of every month for the InDigest 1207 reading series, where in June we will be welcoming Stephen Burt, Angela Ball, Rodrigo Toscano, and Giao Buu (and later this summer, John Wray, Marlon James, Ronaldo V. Wilson, and Geoff Herbach).

Summer Literary Preview

STL Today has just posted an article previewing some of the most exciting literary release coming up this summer.

Some of the ones that have me excited out of the lot:
The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon
My Father's Tears and Other Stories by John Updike

Some of the major authors of the summer, I know, but how are you not excited about Updike's final collection or the prospects of Pynchon writing a noir novel? Awesome.
