Mao II
Don Delillo reading from Mao II (which I recently finished).
And on a Youtube-related side note, this is an interesting interview: David Foster Wallace on Charlie Rose.

Big Sur
It's the photo of the Henry Miller museum sign that you've been dying to see.
Got a copy of Aller Retour New York while there. For the lofty literary reason that it was cheap.
Also reading Kerouac's Big Sur.

Bad Photos Of Writers
I've been to a couple of events recently at the downtown L.A. library as part of the very cool ALOUD series. And since I've got to fill space on this f'ing website somehow...
(From l to r) Moderator David L. Ulin, Jonathan Lethem, Steve Erickson, Pamela Jackson, and Laura Leslie.The above pic is from the Philip K. Dick symposium on November 14th, marking the release of Dick's The
Exegesis
. Lethem is second from the left. My girlfriend was interested to learn that time is round.
(From l to r) Colson Whitehead, enormous skull, and moderator David Kipen.In the distance and to the left sits Colson Whitehead, on the October release of
Zone One
. The real story though is the huge head that's taking over this entire picture. Such body! Such bounce!

Hear Me At: Escape Pod
I'm happy to report that you can now listen to my short ode to the post-apocalyptic life, "End of the World or Not, I Still Have Feelings," narrated in full audio glory (and a British accent) over at the awesome science fiction podcast, Escape Pod (it's at the 9:58 mark).If you'd rather read it, you can always check out the story over at the McSweeney's website, where it originally appeared.
And if you like "End of the World...", I invite you to check out my novella Rocket, which runs in a similar vein. Like most great stories, it's about astronauts, petrification, and the food court at the mall.

Updates on Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal, the real life inspiration behind my detective novel, The Canal.
