if you haven't gotten around to browsing the contents of the latest issue of DIAGRAM, you probably should. it's an all fiction issue, made up of the finalists of their $5 innovative fiction contest. there's some pretty incredible stuff.
the winner of the contest fuses found photography with q&a into a pretty stunning result: Holly Tavel's ON THE MYSTERIOUS APPEARANCE OF PHILO S. IN OTHER PEOPLE'S PHOTOGRAPHS
i also really got big kicks out of and am kind of amazed by Christopher Higgs's MOTHER: A DECONSTRUCTION WITH CRITICAL APPARATUS. it makes use of david markson's influence in a way outside of mere replication. very cool.
i haven't read everything in the issue yet but if it's anything like these two, damn. really, the stuff they have up here is heads above a lot of print journals. who said online text was just secondhand?
i had a piece accepted by them back in january that hasn't been posted yet. hopefully it'll be in the next issue.

i read 'gift' in elimae and was confused. you could link me now. i will continue looking at your page. i will also be published in the fall issue of NANO. i submitted to them because i saw their ad in craigslist.

Higgs's piece is phenomenal. Definitely my favorite of the issue, though they're all pretty much amazing.
