		<description><![CDATA[
Ben Marcus is one of the most playful, irreverent and linguistically exciting novelists at work today. I inhaled Notable American Women when it came out, was bummed when he swooped in and ran Columbia&#8217;s MFA program a year after I graduated, and have combed through his new album, The Flame Alphabet, as if it were one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Antonya Nelson is one of my favorite short story writers. One of my favorite writers, period. She has always managed to get the peculiar into the ordinary in the most unexpected ways. And then there&#8217;s her phrasing, in both her exposition and her dialogue. Take the opening of her most recent story, &#8220;Chapter Two,&#8221; from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don’t think I can do this anymore.
There’s someone new at the door.
When he wrote you did you cut-and-paste?
I used to think it was good to be chaste.
During off-hours trains stop here.
I won the race every year but last year.
There’s a new sheriff in town and it ain’t me.
In my dream I loved you inconclusively.

		<description><![CDATA[Barney Rosset has passed away at the age of 90. One could argue that Rosset is one of the most influential&#8211;if not the most influential&#8211;person in the arts this past century. His influence is strong today, though little celebrated, although recently he&#8217;s received some belated exposure. The Daily Be called him &#8220;The Most Dangerous Man in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote an essay about long, lunatic novels. Read it at The Rumpus.
If the great English novelist and linguist Anthony Burgess was onto something when he wrote, in A Mouthful of Air, that literature arose as an expression of “loneliness and exile—a cry in the dark, whistling in the dark”—then what are we to do with these [...]]]></description>

THE PROCESS
IN WHICH AN ARTIST DISCUSSES MAKING A PARTICULAR WORK

The world according to Fred Tomaselli is a dark, druggy, visually lurid place: a swirling dazzle of eye-popping data. Influenced equally by SoCal surfer culture and New York City trash-punk, [...]]]></description>

For some reason, I turned on the TV before leaving for work: I don&#8217;t know why, it wasn&#8217;t something I did regularly at the time. Images of North Tower burning were already on the air. After watching, dumbfounded, I [...]]]></description>
