noted, self-promotion edition

  • A piece by Linton Weeks at NPR’s website contains part of an interview with me.
  • I have a piece in the latest issue of Logos, a Dutch book journal. They appear to be charging $35.00 (plus tax!) to read the article. Hint: this article isn’t worth paying anything for!
  • Also I have an essay in The Most Beautiful Swiss Books 2009. I don’t think this is online anywhere, but I might be wrong.
  • Less self-promotion: somebody seems to have scanned Barbara O’Brien’s Operators and Things, one of those books that’s probably worth re-reading.

  • My interview with Bob Stein is up at Triple Canopy as part of Issue 9.

  • Gary Shteyngart & Joshua Cohen on the Tablet podcast.
  • More of Robert Walser’s poetry is coming out in English.
  • Joseph McElroy’s Preparations for Search is available from Small Anchor Press; the text was originally published in Formations in Spring 1984 as part of Women and Men, but cut before that book’s publication; Small Anchor’s edition has been “slightly revised”.

noted, briefly

  • An interesting post at Mute on young neofascists in Italy.
  • A group show named “Resurrectine” at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts: somehow Raymond Roussel is more appreciated by the world of visual arts than the literary realm.
  • The first issue of Wild Orchids features “new and affectionate writing on Herman Melville”.
  • Dan Piepenbring in Swink.

  • Tan Lin has an event at the Kelly Writers House for his exciting new Seven Controlled Vocabularies; I won’t be able to make it, but I’ve written a couple of pieces for his editing pleasure. See also: Thom Donovan’s piece in Harriet; an interview with Tan Lin in Bomb; his online appendix to the book; and the Amazon page for the book, with blurbs in the reader review section.
  • Everyone should go see Ben Vershbow’s production of Bartleby at Triple Canopy; on Sunday, it follows a reading by Joshua Cohen and Joseph McElroy, also very much recommended; I wish I were going to be in town.
  • A long interview with Guy Maddin about his films and books; Michael Silverblatt comes up.

noted, special all-me edition

  • Michael Humphrey has an interview with me up at True/Slant. Well.
  • I turn up in the New York Times for my prowess in sitting (and standing in line). See also (terrible, terrible).
  • Evidently I am on the Bob Edwards Show, which is on satellite radio, which I don’t know how to listen to. Maybe it will be on their podcast?
