Goings on About the Rump

Wu Ming

Notable New York is up on the Rumpus. Some things to look out for are Justin Taylor's reading with the Italian lit collective Wu Ming, Paul Banks (about whom I wrote a Subjective Account) performing, the Tim Burton exhibit, and films by Ingmar Bergman at BAM. (It was initially posted that Julian Casablancas would be performing with Paul Banks, but he will not be performing--Only Paul Banks. Sorry for the confusion).

Also, a very interesting read is Catherine Lacey's post on HTML Giant about Zadie Smith's essay about novelists writing essays: No Easy Cure for Novel Nausea.

Depression, Kombucha and The Neutral Facial Expression

Who's responsible for your stealing?

My review of Tao Lin's new novella, Shoplifting From American Apparel is up on The Faster Times. There's also a great GIANT g-chat review between Justin Taylor and Drew Toal. The commentary is pretty hilarious.
