"Tanzer's best book to date, YCMHLY perfectly captures the Pop-infused wants and worries of both serious relationships, and having a first child. Breezy and entertaining, Tanzer delivers a weighty emotional journey, but one that never tumbles into melodrama--a very easy book to relate to and enjoy. "

The Chicago Subtext interview. Does that sound too serious? Because while talking literature can be serious, this interview, maybe not so much.

A cold and rainy 2009 Printers Row Lit Fest, Orange Alert, Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine, interviews and such.

More or less in order. We hit the 2009 Printers Row Lit Fest yesterday. We worked the Orange Alert table with the Behrends. We sold copies of Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine. We hyped the new Orange Alert joint Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon. We did an interview with La Guth and Chicago Subtext, more on that soon, we think. And we had coffee with author David Masciotra (and his lovely girlfriend Sara), who has a new book which we are way geeked about on Bruce Springsteen, his lyrics and politics coming out on Continuum around the beginning of the year. It was cold and rainy, but much fun and we have the pictures to prove it.

the understory Pamela Erens and Oh Baby by Kim Chinquee. Good stuff. Really good stuff.

While we have been especially geeked to read two new books previously mentioned here, Stories by Scott McClanahan and Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon, a collection of letters between the poets Hosho McCreesh and Christopher Cunningham, we alas have not yet gotten our hands on them. That said, we have any number of books here at TBWCYL, Inc. headquarters that we have been wanting to read and so we took to the bookshelves this week in search of what might come next. As we did, it occurred to us that we have been reading a lot of books by dudes recently and while there is nothing wrong with that per se it seemed like it was time to mix it up a bit. Which we did after coming across the understory by Pamela Erens and Oh Baby by Kim Chinquee, two drastically different yet equally wonderful reading experiences.

the understory is a terrific novel and meditation on not just compulsion and isolation, but the role compulsion plays, good and bad, in the meditative life.

Oh Baby on the other hand is a collection of flash fiction and prose poems that seem to fall somewhere between shotgun blasts and song.

Both are like gifts that had been lurking right there before us just waiting to be discovered. We you hope you will discover them as well, because who knows, they just might change your life.

Check it out - Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon is coming soon from Orange Alert Press.

This is so cool, the new Orange Alert Press joint Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon, a collection of letters between the poets Hosho McCreesh and Christopher Cunningham will be out on May 25th and is available for pre-order now. Yes, now. So go ahead, order it, read it, feel good, change your life.
