Fairy Tale Porn & Reading

The next issue of Lamination Colony (Jan 08) will be a feature on fairy tale porn. That could be interpreted however you like. If you have something that might fit this genre, please submit. Really. Submissions not applicable to this genre will be held over to our subsequent update.

I am reading more than I am writing this week. That feels good actually.

I read:

MEYER by Stephen Dixon
POVEL by Geraldine Kim
WIDE EYED by Trinie Dalton (I picked this up after rereading her awesome story in the Fall/Winter 2006 of Ninth Letter)

I am now reading:

THE HORNED MAN by James Lasdun (on recommendation from Ross Simonini)

This week and last I am slowly launching on my quest to place my story collection and as a result the rest of my mind is silent.

I am looking forward to the Fairy Tale Porn issue of Lamination Colony. Very Coover. I read Coover's "The Magic Poker" last night and ended up in the hospital. No joke. These things are not causally related, but they did occur in that order within the span of a few hours. So maybe.

why the hospital josh? is everything okay?

Josh Maday said...

yeah, everything's okay. still not sure what it was, though. thought it was a heart attack or something. but it wasn't. pretty scary. I appreciate your concern.

Molly Gaudry said...

Josh, Stress? Panic attack? I hope you're feeling better...also hope you won't forever have bad Coover associations.

Blake, The Fairy Tale Porn issue sounds terrific. And all my best thoughts go out to you as you proceed with finding a home for the stories. Very exciting!
