IN PROGRESS
Gabriel is currently working on a number of projects, including his first novel for young readers, a children's book about monsters, and a short story featuring a renegade pomegranate tree, which Aimee Bender thinks is an excellent idea (she told him so via email and he hasn't stopped bragging about it since).CONTACT

Ugh, just ugh.
“The San Francisco-based company should provide Amazon with another way to get readers to buy books from it…”
Yikes, grammar. Wanna put some clothes on before you answer the door?
That’s right, “Courtesy the artist.” If MOMA funded public napping, I’d move to New York THIS VERY INSTANT.

I would love to visit Kay Ryan’s office just so I could
stealappreciate more pages like this.Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.
Truman Capote (x)LitBLURB gets a sneak peak at some writing advice from the author of Fifty Shades of Grey. It, um, doesn’t go all that well…
From Dragons Love Tacos
Dragon break!
Dragons and tacos. Two of my favorite things.

All worthy work is open to interpretations the author did not intend. Art isn’t your pet — it’s your kid. It grows up and talks back to you.
Joss WhedonI thought Jonathan Franzen was going to be reserved, but he had a lot to say…about Dawson’s Creek.
Watch this week’s LiTBLURB video: “Jonathan Franzen Won’t Shut Up”
Working on a story about a dead mom and a glass house and a housecat in a pine tree. So…that’s happening.
We’re really good at twitter, you guys.

The Yiddish Policemen’s OnionJust finished the new LiTBLURB video. I’ll post it here when it’s actually the morning and not just the technically-past-midnight kind of morning.
Why does my face look like that? Well, a certain author hurts my feelings, and here’s a hint: her name rhymes with Pootie Gloom.

This. Awesome.
- Author George Saunders reads from and discusses his new story collection Tenth of December. Live at Politics & Prose is a co-production of Slate and Politics & Prose Bookstore in Washington, D.C. It’s apparently a day of podcasts for me. I’m posting a lot of them BUT ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE SO GOOD.
(No streaming audio available)1211 plays - politicsprose: Fresh off the success of her first novel, Swamplandia!, a finalist for last year’s Pulitzer Prize for fiction (and an unwitting participant in the notorious Pulitzer selection process that resulted in no 2012 winner), Karen Russell is back with a quirky, and according to many critics brilliant, collection of short stories. The title piece in Vampires in the Lemon Grove concerns aging blood-suckers who are trying to temper their addiction to bodily fluids by sucking on citrus. But at this Feb. 25 appearance at Politics & Prose, Russell read instead from another story in the collection, “Proving Up.” She also answered a wide range of audience questions. “Live at Politics & Prose” is a new show from Slate Radio that features some of today’s best writers reading from their new work and answering audience questions at Washington, D.C.’s famous bookstore. I LOVE the woman who asks the final question. I want her to be mi abuela.
