i’ve been busy. sorry. i will have something to say about other peoples’ books soon.
in the meantime, i wanted to tell you about a news that happened while i was busy, which is part of the reason i was busy. the news is that my collection, the awful possibilities, will now be published by featherproof rather than paper egg. those of you who know anything about featherproof and paper egg know that featherproof and paper egg were two rooms in the same house, but this means it will be available for all time for everyone, rather than just a limited time for someone. it also means the book won’t be out until april. but don’t be sad. i will call you up and read it to you over the phone in the meantime if you get lonely.
in any case, if you already ordered it, you’ll still get it, unless you don’t want it, in which case there are all types of generous options available.
you can get details on the book here, and for an explanation of your options, go here.
this is exciting news. it will allow me to dismantle the world more methodically.
like i said, soon i will talk about somebody else’s book. it was a book that surprised me. it had been a while since i’d been surprised.
congrats on the book. i ordered it.
thanks, shane!
Too bad about Paper Egg. It was a good idea. And I was looking forward to some new TeBordo this month. But I suppose it’s worth waiting for…
yeah, it was a good idea — and i still think it could be done — but it wasn’t working out logistically. i think the problem was, even though the subscription program took care of issues like distribution and print run, it still takes just as much time to put out the book, so really the guys at featherproof were doubling (or some abstract multiple) their workload on top of dayjobs. in any case, i think we made the right decision and it’s cool what they’re doing for me. maybe if someone started a press that only did subscriptions? if you find any takers tell ‘em they can have my next collection.
i have been busy too.
