Review: The Prisoner by Thomas M. Disch (at PopMatters)
My most recent review, of The Prisoner by Thomas M. Disch is live at PopMatters.
A snippet:
Ultimately, Number Six and his attempts to prove that he is not a number are a thinly veiled metaphor for our own attempts to prove the same. I am not a number, I am (to use the phrase repeated throughout the show and in the novel) a free man.Yet, I am a cell phone. I have to regularly list my social security number on applications. I drag around notes scribbled on the backs of old receipts to...

Evan Mandery reading
The brilliant Evan Mandery has a reading coming up:
March 10, 2010 (7:00pm)
Barnes & Noble
97 Warren Street
New York, NY

A satirical joyride in the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, First Contact introduces us to the hyper-intelligent...

I came in fourth at a round-table discussion.
I was honored to be part of a four author round table discussion for Writing.com. The other, far-more-interesting-than-me, participants were Tracy Garrett, Kiersten White, and Natalie Whipple. We were whipped into shape, I mean, moderated by S.M. Blooding.
