The new edition of This Zine Will Change Your Life is live, hard to say and all Weigel. Or something like that.
The new edition of This Zine Will Change Your Life is live and hard to say. Or something like that. We have a new short story Sometimes It's Hard to Say by Sally Weigel, which we are way excited about, and, as always, photo action from Adam Lawrence, a music selection from Jason Behrends and state of the union prose love from Pete Anderson. We hope you enjoy this edition and we appreciate all shout-outs and links. Finally, please note, that we think you look especially slim today. All of you.

Not unlike our terribly fanboy reaction and blog post earlier this week about our excitement over learning about an interview with TBWCYL, Inc. favorite Shannon Burke in The National, today we find ourselves way geeked to see a double-dose of Michael A. FitzGerald over at the always fine Baby Got Books. In fact, you get not only a typically terrific review of Radiant Days, but a bonus interview as well. Not bad, right? No, not at all. Meanwhile, if you find yourself craving an additional...

A kind Torn Pages shout-out from the Chicago Subtext. And quotes.

Shannon Burke interview stuff.
We are unabashed fans of author Shannon Burke here at the TBWCYL, Inc. and so we were quite excited when Pete Anderson of Pete Lit fame let us know about a quite fine interview with Shannon by The National that we think you might want to take a look at. We also think you might want to take a look at Shannon's novels Black Flies and Safelight as we are fairly certain that they just might change your life. For real.

An entire city looses the ability to communicate with each other. A boy struggles with an oddly tangible past. Dolphins parade with jazz musicians, lighting bugs dance, and squichons appear in this first installment of the highly...
