HARLEM SMOKE Day on Dennis Cooper's Blog

As mentioned previously this weekend sees Dennis Cooper's blog hosting my Day devoted to HARLEM SMOKE. For those interested, I spend a bit of time (okay, maybe a little more than a bit of time) discussing how I came up with the idea and the writing process behind the book, what inspired the novel, notes on the soundtrack, plus lots of photographs from the city of Providence (many taken by me) depicting some of the real-life locations that appear in the book.

Hopefully this is the last general update I'll need to do for the time being as I'm getting sick of typing those two words 'Harlem Smoke!'

Drowning in Beauty: The Neo-Decadent Anthology

The new Snuggly Books anthology DROWNING IN BEAUTY is now available to order (from the Snuggly website and all the usual sources). I have a story in it, that'll probably be in my 3rd collection, but if you want to read it ahead of time, now's your chance. Anyway, with the help of a number of the contributors I put together an introduction to the book and its writers that is being hosted on Dennis Cooper's blog this weekend, so... knock yourself out.

Là-Bas Day at Dennis Cooper's Blog

Today Dennis Cooper's blog is hosting an extremely obsessive essay/article I put together about J.K. Huysmans and his writing of his novel Là-Bas. It was in fact so long that it had to be split into two parts, with part two set to appear over the weekend. Anyway, here's the link to part one:

It is my hope that it will be of interest both to those who have never read the book and also those who are fans of it.
