		<description><![CDATA[It’s the part of the story after the girl disappears, and I know she’s already dead, but I keep watching until her friends find her in the boathouse her limp body dropped over the edge of the dock, bare- chested and blanched, her hysterical boyfriend heaving her up and holding her close, corpse-wet hair clinging to the sweat of his neck. This is how I miss you: I am the dead girl’s hand slipping down her waist and smacking palm up into the water. I am ashamed of our distance, the six hundred miles between our bodies and how you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Young cool grandpa David Byrne turned 60 on Monday. (Shut up, it&#8217;s relevant, he&#8217;s an author too). Please jam this while you read this round-up. The Sunday Styles had a totally relevant, not at all ridiculous piece about Jay McInerney this weekend. Excerpt: &#8220;When contacted through the British Museum to ask if his own personal history could be illuminated by an object in his possession, Mr. MacGregor would not say. But Jay McInerney (above) would. Moreover, he revealed that when his own creative juices are clotting up, he reaches over to his desk and picks up, of all things, an Acheulean [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nonfiction Pizza Party is a new column by David Bersell. Please click on it every week. Last week, Stephan Lee of Entertainment Weekly wrote up a playful pitch for a reality competition show for fiction writers. You know, like America’s Next Top Model/Chef/Gravedigger, except with books and glasses and stuff. Check the article out here. Since I’m a nonfiction writer and grew up on reality TV — I once attended a club appearance by a Real World cast member and tried to convince his manager to let me profile him — I have deemed myself worthy to conceive the nonfiction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy belated to Thomas Pynchon! Birthday wishes come across the sky. It&#8217;s happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now. Related: it looks like you missed out on Pynchon in Public Day, the one day where it would have finally been appropriate to wear that homemade Tristero shirt out in public. Goodbye Maurice Sendak. See you at the wild rumpus in the sky. (The afterlife isn&#8217;t sounding that bad, actually. MCA is there too.) Want more Sendak? His Paris Review interview from 2011. The Millions has an essay about Roberto Bolano&#8217;s posthumous rise to fame. Go read The Savage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steve Almond is the author of eight books of fiction and nonfiction including My Life In Heavy Metal, Candyfreak, and Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life. His most recent collection of short fiction, God Bless America, is hilarious and heartbreaking. Go buy it now! And if you&#8217;re local, see him read tomorrow night at this benefit for Chester College. Almond talked to Barnstorm about the new collection, his process, and his mandatory reads for all of humanity. Q: Your new(ish) collection God Bless America is so great. Can you tell me a little bit about how these stories came [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[White people rejoice: Tom Wolfe and John Irving have birthdays today. T.Wolfe is 81, which is one million in dapper hat years, and J.Irv. is 70, which is a spry 250 in mangy dancing bear years. Speaking of the latter bro, Irving&#8217;s got a new novel coming out called In One Person. More about it here. He seems like a nice man, feel sort of bad for making fun of him in the last joke. Not enough to delete it though. This new graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel looks awesome. Let&#8217;s all read it. Flannery O&#8217;Connor drew cartoons, apparently. Not [...]]]></description>

Remember last year when we had that surprise party for him, and you burst in all late and we shouted &#8220;SURPRISE!&#8221; but it wasn&#8217;t RPW, it was just you, and we were like &#8220;ugh, typical&#8221;? Friend of Barnstorm Ian Denning has a story up at Corium Magazine. How does it feel to be so famous, Ian? Can I ride in your limo? Oh look, here&#8217;s a site where you can order great works of literature with your name substituted in for the main character. Dunno, $24.95 seems like a lot to pay for a [...]]]></description>

Charlotte or Emily or [that third one no one cares about]? A lit agent clowns slush pile submissions via tumblr. That&#8217;s one crabby hombre! Are you going to a writers&#8217; conference this summer? You are? How great for you [flashes totally sincere smile]. I suppose you&#8217;ll find this amusing then. The Awl&#8217;s got an interview with Brian McGreevy, author of Hemlock Grove, a new book from the FSG Originals series. Pro tip: don&#8217;t look that eerily intense headshot directly in the eyes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a Friday treat! The editors of Barnstorm weigh in on their favorite indie bookstores. Also, big ups to hometown spots RiverRun and Sheafe Street Books in Portsmouth, NH, which are always first in our hearts. Caro Clark Downtown Books &#38; News, Asheville, NC My first choice was Mom &#38; Pop&#8217;s books, a mainstay in my hometown back in Rhode Island, but a fire in the next door laundromat sent that locale to bookstore heaven. Since then I&#8217;ve been cared for by a number of foster booksellers interested in giving me great books on the cheap. Thus, a visit to Asheville, NC [...]]]></description>

Today&#8217;s best link: Christoph Niemann made a sketch for the Huffington Post depicting his bedside table. Hey, that looks just like YOUR bedside table (minus 2666, plus the Twilight box set, minus that sock, plus your LARPING hat). Book tours are all wall to wall groupies and champagne poppin&#8217; after parties on sick zebra-print buses right? RIGHT? One more (oldish) thing from The Awl. Literary types you&#8217;ve heard of (Sloane Crosley, Lorin Stein, John Jeremiah Sullivan, Ariel Levy, many more) talk about [...]]]></description>
