Quick Hits for Sept. 1: Penis Envy, Indies Abound and Poetry Rains in Berlin
Quick Hits for September 1
I got a bad case of the cliccups...
Japanese Penis Envy : I know, I know, I am going for the lowest common clicking denominator. But, I do have a review up at Three Percent. I really wanted to like Rieko Matsuura's The Apprenticeship of Big Toe P., but you will have to read the review to find out if I did or didn't dig the story about a woman who wakes up with a penis growing out of her big toe. This ain't your Grandma's book review.
Indies Abound : I was more than ecstatic when I saw Publisher's Weekly giving love to the independent presses. Check out the twenty upcoming titles they are recommending as well as some titles that are only getting online play. A few of my faves are on there including Zone from Open Letter and A Novel Bookstore from Europa(I wrote a little something for the website of this book). What a great lineup of books for Fall that has me salivating.
Raining Poetry : What if more in-climate weather were like this? As a protest against war, a Chilean arts group, Casagrande, dropped 100,000 bookmarks on the streets of Berlin. The bookmarks featured by Chilean and German poets. If this is the new form of protest, sign me up.
