The Fun Part About Experimental Literature
01/19/2013
I was first introduced to Ken Sparling’s work at — where else? — AWP, when I bought his book, Hush Up and Listen Stinky Poo Butt, and one of Ben Tanzer’s books as a package deal from Artistically Declined’s table. Admittedly, I was sold on Sparling’s book because of the title, and wasn’t prepared for…

A Small Congregation of Nerdy Younger Kids
03/23/2012
During the final session of my MFA advanced fiction workshop, my classmates and I read our answers to some questions our professor had cribbed from Paris Review interviews. The idea was to take a step back from our work, which we were all probably sick of by that point, and examine it from more neutral…

My friend Kimberley Lynne’s novel, Dredging the Choptank, mixes folklore, impressive research, and a soberly gonzo narrative style to tell the story of a documentarian who discovers a Native American burial ground under an Eastern Shore jail. I say “gonzo” because the book is based on Kimberley’s own travails with the Dorchester County Historical Society,…

Chapter 15: Baptismal
06/29/2011
Have you seen the book trailer for Lidia Yuknavitch’s The Chronology of Water? I’d like to discuss it today because it is so closely tied to Chapter 15: Baptismal. The words you hear Lidia reading as you watch the trailer are taken from this particular chapter, but it is worth noting that Lidia changes a lot…

A Sudden and Jerky Way: Unreliable Narration in T&T
06/28/2011
I want to talk about the narration in Today & Tomorrow, and about unreliable narrators in general, but first we need to set some operational definitions. What’s currently understood to be an unreliable narrator (one whose credibility has been seriously compromised) is too broad, and could very well apply to every first-person novel ever written.…
