I see this has been set up. Nice! The book will be available via So New Publishing eventually. It will also be on Powells.com. For now, though, see davidbarringer.blogspot.com for information (and a link to a preview on Issuu.com) and email dlbarringer@gmail.com to order. So New has been receiving orders erroneously recently, so I wanted to nip that in the bud. I had taken over this anthology for So New, and now Amy Guth will be managing So New. The future is bright. Promise.

I've got a story in here about the lack of ginger ale at Iowa bars (among other things). So all you people should buy it! Also, it's a pretty interesting mix of fiction, essays, and brief bits of detritus from the last 8 years. A cultural touchstone!

I have a story in here about a NYC conceptual rock band ("The Helium Road") that moves to Texas and morphs into a Christian Rock band for devilishly vengeful reasons!
