Ghosts

I am truly horrible at updating this website with new blog posts…

The year is almost over, and since my last dispatch, I have two more publications to share. Up first is a story about a troubled marriage, a WWII typhoon, and a ghost trapped in a wall. It’s called “The Wherewithal,” and the generous folks at the amazing Monkeybicycle gave it a home.

Second, I wrote a review of Julián Herbert’s debut novel, Tomb Song, for Kenyon Review Online. The novel is fascinating, chronicling the thoughts of Herbert (or, at least, a slightly fictionalized version of Herbert) as he sits at his ailing mother’s bedside. I highly recommend the book for lovers of literary fiction and translations.

That’s all to report. See you next year, friends.

Stuff and Things

Two newish reviews are out in the world. At Kenyon Review Online, I wrote about Marcy Dermansky’s novel, The Red Car, and Numéro Cinq has my thoughts on Rodrigo Fresán’s The Invented Part. Both books are wild in their own ways.

That is all.

The Goonies, Koko B. Ware, and Diane Williams, together at last!

Two pieces of information:

First, Kenyon Review Online published my review of Diane Williams’ great story collection, Fine, Fine, Fine, Fine, Fine, which you can read here.

Second, COG published my short story, “What Did the Boy Do When He Came Back to Life?” in their newest issue. In it, I namecheck The Goonies, WWF Wrestling, Koko B. Ware, and more. A big thanks to editor Soma Mei Sheng Frazier for including me. You can read the whole issue here, or jump straight to my story here.

Two new reviews? Yes! Two new reviews!

I was fortunate to talk about two great novels recently. At Numéro Cinq, I reviewed Horacio Castellanos Moya’s Revulsion: Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador, and Kenyon Review Online features my piece on Rachel B. Glaser’s art school novel, Paulina & Fran.
