"Each of these eight stories is as rich as a novel -- high praise when you consider how many of today's novels could be distilled into a short story."The NYTRB reveiw, by Liesl Shillinger, in the August 27 issue. If this doesn't convince you to get your hiney in a seat for Ben's readings in Dallas and Austin, "well then, Jed, I don't want to know you."
A cosmic answer to one of Lioness's recent rants: a white man who is not blind to the existence, conditions, and being of Others. He's just a rockingly acute critic of the whole Imperial Thing, its shadings and presence. And my friend, I'm very proud to say. (xo Ben)
If you were wise enough to attend Texas UnBound, you recieved a voucher for the reading, at which you may buy Ben's book and impose upon his Southern Manners to make him sign it for you. A portion of the proceeds will go to support WordSpace's work in the North Texas literary community.
