Remember how I said I was at an event in Philadelphia last week? It went swimmingly, I thought. And now I have corroboration. Jennifer Sheffield has posted a report: bigbluemarblebooks.blogspot.com/2009/11/ya-fusion-or-our-differences-unite-us.html. Makes me wonder, rather, what I must have looked like when Catherine said she outlined all her books, several times. In different colors. Rather the way hers did when I said I just jumped in and let the devil take the hindmost, I suspect.

My constant advice to all students of writing has always been to read, read, read. Time being the unyielding thing it is, I've also noticed that the more I write, the less I've been reading myself. There's something wrong with that. So I've been making a concerted effort to read more, fueled in part by a great influx recently of books I really, really want to read.

Many of them are pleasant, some of them have been remarkable (and I'll tell you about them later). But the one I read last weekend, which absolutely blew my socks off, was Libba Bray's masterful YA, Going Bovine.

It's remarkable. The voice of the young male protagonist is completely convincing--funny, angry, totally early 21st Century without being mired in contemporary teen-speak. Cameron is a little like a 21st century, less whiny, and much funnier Holden Caulfield. I found him frustrating, endearing, and so very real it was hard to believe he exists only as long as I'm reading about him. His friends include a Mexican dwarf and a talking lawn gnome who claims to be Baldur the Beautiful and hates having his picture taken. Oh, and a punk angel with torn fishnets. The plot careens between American road-movie, epic fantasy, satire, and problem novel, pretty much without stopping for breath, following an emotional logic that is utterly compelling and kept me turning pages when by all rights I should have been asleep.

And if I get any more specific than that, I'll so spoil the ride.

I laughed a lot while reading this book. And I cried, hard, when I was finishing it. Which I almost never do--just ask Ellen. And I went right to my computer (as soon as I'd blown my nose) and wrote Libba a fan letter.

So we're walking home from the subway on Broadway (after the SFWA Reception, a.k.a. "Mill'n'Swill," at Planet Hollywood in Times Square - say no more! followed by drinks & many refills of the bread basket at Cafe Un, Deux, Trois), and cute young woman with a leather headband (whom I recognized from the subway platform at Times Sq.) runs up alongside us, saying, "Excuse me, madam, excuse me - Could I take your picture for my Fashion Blog?" So we stand on the sidewalk in front of Gourmet Garage and get our photos took, me in my long red boiled wool coat from Paris, Delia in her black velvet, arm in arm . . . . She asked if we were from here, and said she was from Mexico City. And ran off to join her friends.

I'll never find that fashion blog. But I'll cherish the moment.

apologies if i missed anything. am real tired. comment if i missed it, and we'll get it up here.

finally

God, I never thought it was that hard.

10,000 words don't seem too difficult anymore now, do they?

Our pal, new media guru & fabulous guy Henry Jenkins, was kind enough to write an introduction, On the Pleasures of Not Belonging, to Interfictions 2 - and to allow us to post the entire intro on the IAF website. I thought I'd clip & post a brief selection to entice you to read the whole thing:

Over the course of the 20th century, however, genre categories have become ever more specialized as media industries refine techniques for monitoring and targeting particular clusters of consumers . . . . And where the market doesn't impose such specifications, we add them ourselves. Catherine Tosenberger has argued that the best fan fiction is "unpublishable" in the sense that it operates across the genre categories, aesthetic norms, and ideological constraints that shape commercial publishing. Fans self-publish in order to step outside those filters. Yet, the fan community also imposes its own categories, which help readers find the "right story" through author's notes that tell us, for example, which "ships" (relationships between specified pairs of characters) are being explored, offer a rough sense of their sexual explicitness or emotional tone, warn us about vexing themes, and so forth. . . . All of this focus on using genres to classify and shelve works assumes that we know where one genre ends and another begins and that genre works stay where we put them. Genres may be optical illusions, which come and go like mirages, depending on the ways we look at the texts in question.

* * *
You can read Jenkins' entire essay, and comment here.

And once you've done that, I hope you'll want to read Interfictions 2 in print or as an ebook. And don't forget the Auction!

I didn't really know much about this before we went. An out-of-town friend was going with other friends, I find the St. Ann's Warehouse productions stimulating, I like Brooklyn. Had I known, I probably wouldn't have gone, and would have missed a lovely dinner and a play different from the Classic Theatre/Musical/Old-Fashioned well-made plays I usually go to.

So now I've had my Becket-meets-Synge-meets-Genet experience, and don't need to have another one for a while.

That said, The New Electric Ballroom was a solid and nicely-structured representative of the genre, with three remarkable actresses playing sisters, caught up in the pivotal experience of going to hear a rock star at the eponymous ballroom when the older ones were 16 and 18. The younger one (now in her 40s) is their audience and effectual slave, being the only one who ever leaves the house, but is slowly withering in the desert of a dead-end job in a small canning town, with no emotional life outside her sisters' stories and no prospect of one. The only other character is a middle-aged fishmonger who bursts into the house at intervals, compulsively delivering fish and gossip, for neither of which he is paid or thanked.

In short, it's a wee bit on the grim side.

In case this kind of thing is absolutely your cup of Barry's, I won't reveal the really rather cool climax and anti-climax (in the classical sense) that shapes the second half, but it doesn't spoil anything, I think, to remark that it doesn't relieve the general aura of "life sucks and then you die" that pervades the narrative. As you may have figured out, there's nobody who likes a good tragedy as well as I. But I do pretty much lack a taste for irony, and this is a deeply ironical play. I'm also not wild about the assumption that a woman can't possibly have a life if she doesn't have a man, but I suppose it could equally well be read as a cautionary tale for women who believe that, and it's written by a woman (Enda Walsh) so I will suspend judgment.

In any case,, Rosaleen Linehan, who plays the oldest sister, Breda, has played Beckett (no surprises there) and is a force of nature. The second sister, Ada, is played by Catherine Walsh, who has been in Dancing at Lughnasa--and done Beckett on the radio. She, too, was remarkable. The youngest sister, Ruth Mcabe, was in The Snapper, among other things, but wasn't quite up to the weight of the others (IMHO, anyway). Mikel Murfi, as the lone (and lonely) male Patsy, was wonderful, with a real range and vulnerability.

Hey yall!

No one has posted to this page in a while, but what the hell.

I am a 22 year old Queer male living on long island. I am really into Lithurgy, Burzum, Wolves in the throne room, Converge, Mastodon, Red Sparrows, Buried Inside, Harvey Milk, Boris, Sunn O))) and loads more. I am always going to Brooklyn to go see shows.

I'm at 37K and I feel like I've reached the limit of my will to write...

I'm still full of ideas, the story is going along well, if not totally great and I know what to do to pad up 50K (and not entirely smut-fest, I can really write stories, you know), but I just don't want to do it, I want to bury my head in the sands until December... or... you know... whatever...
