 Pimpin' Culture

I woke up this morning hung over.  An open bar will do that to you.  Especially when you are a misanthropic wallflower. This isn’t about me, though, but about the event that left me a staggering mess last night: The Swink launch party.  Props to Leelila Strogov and my good friend Tricia Han for putting together a great literary mag. And for having the good taste to provide an open bar.

The first issue includes work by Jonathan Ames, Chris Offutt and Neal Pollack and an interview with Adam Haslett.  I’m sure that there are other well-known authors in there, but I am insufficiently well-versed to know about them.  Some excellent stuff was featured at the reading, particularly this.

Run out and pick up a copy of Swink.* Tell people you buy it for the articles.
