Amazon and Macmillan: The Pricing Bowl
by Levi Asher on Monday, February 1, 2010 09:19 am
1. Does anybody out there believe Macmillan wants to sell electronic books? I don't think they do.
On The Run

I still haven't mentally returned from vacation, still haven't gotten back into the LitKicks swing. I've been running around a lot, actually, as well as working hard behind the scenes on a new software platform for the site that has so far only succeeded in breaking the Action Poetry pages (they will be back soon, I promise). More soon! Till then ... links:
Poetry Bomb

1. S. A. Griffin, a Los Angeles poet, actor, beatnik and longtime friend of LitKicks, is going to be filling the shell of a bomb with pages of poetry and touring the USA with it in 2010.
Les Mouches

1. A creepy publicity stunt involving flies carrying little paper advertisements at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Doesn't this make you feel bad for the flies?
Quick Hits

1. I've never read 2009 Nobel Prize winner Herta Mueller, but I know a few people who recommend her work (Harold Bloom, meanwhile, is unimpressed). The Literary Saloon has more substantial coverage.
Book Expo Wrapup
by Levi Asher on Sunday, May 31, 2009 05:53 pm
BEA 2009 was my third Book Expo. The first time I came here, in 2005, I got invited to no parties (I didn't even know there were parties) and I walked the convention center floors feeling bewildered.
The second time, in 2007, I got invited to the parties but didn't know what to do at the parties once I got there. I walked the convention floors feeling excluded.

It's so cool that Book Expo 2009 is taking place, literally, in a crystal palace, otherwise known as Jacob Javits Center in New York City, alongside the Hudson River where only recently a pilot made these words famous:
"We're gonna be in the Hudson."
A Walden Play
by Levi Asher on Friday, May 22, 2009 05:09 pm
I've been working hard, and I really need this three-day weekend coming my way. Hell yeah!
Another surprise guest will be writing this weekend's review of the New York Times Book Review. Check back on Sunday for, I hope, a wholly new perspective.
Till then, just a few links for a happy Spring day.
