Emerging from my cave

After a quiet first quarter, I emerge from my cave with a small flurry of publications. Here they are, in glorious bullet point:

At Words Without Borders, I reviewed two books by Thai author Duanwad Pimwana, her first to be translated into English (by Mui Poopoksakul).
For Fiction Writers Review, I interviewed Caleb Michael Sarvis about his debut story collection, Dead Aquarium (we published his story, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” at Atlas and Alice).
I wrote an essay/dispatch/confessional about PEZ conventions and collecting for Barrelhouse.
This one is weird, but I had a Tweet story collected in the latest volume of the Mythic Picnic Tweet Story Project.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a busy second half of 2019.

Fiction

My micro story, “Vanity.,” was published yesterday by New South. I think I started developing this piece after yanking out my ear hairs one day. Maybe. Either way, if you want to read it, click on the above title.

Spartan was kind enough to include my micro-fiction story, “Whiteout,” in their fall issue. Here’s the link.

Cheap Pop published my short story, “Hood Ornament,” earlier this week. It takes about a minute to read, so please find the time to give it a look, especially if you’re a fan of James Dean, car crashes, and locks of hair. You can find it by clicking here.

Also, over at Numéro Cinq, I review Granma Nineteen and the Soviet’s Secret, a really fun novel from Angolan writer Ondjaki. If you were a child of the 1980s, seek out this book. It reads like an adventure film from my youth, as a group of kids band together to take down the Soviets who threaten their beachside village. Here’s a link.
