Mt. Fuji General Store
If you are ever in Joshua Tree and want to check out a great venture, please visit and support My. Fuji General Store. I think soon enough Mt. Fuji will carry my books; it makes me happy to know there is a great indie book spot out in the Morongo Basin.

Back Room
TRINIE DALTON
Zine/Bookmaking Workshop, Slide Talk and Exhibition
Las Cienegas Projects is excited to welcome writer, editor and artist Trinie Dalton for a series of events including a slide talk, zine/bookmaking workshop and an exhibition curated by Dalton showcasing its results. The talk will be divided into 3 parts, covering Bruno Munari’s Xerografia project, Copy Art, and the History of Zines. For the workshop, Las Cienegas Projects has invited several Los Angeles-based artists to participate, and has additionally left open several slots to the public.
Dalton is perhaps most recognized for the publication she co-edited, Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is, an assortment of drawing works by 35 visual artists in repsonse to a selection of high school notes passed by students and confiscated by Dalton during her days as a substitute teacher--when she often secretly delighted in reading them or applauded their creativity—and distributed to the artists who then responded in drawing form, incorporating pieces of text and doodles from the original notes. NPR’s Ketzel Levine noted “I am strangely mesmerized by this cross between a high school kid’s notebook and a 21st century pen and ink retrospective”.
Trinie Dalton has authored, curated, and/or co-edited five books: Wide Eyed (Akashic), A Unicorn Is Born (Abrams), Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is (McSweeney's), Mythtym (Picturebox), and Sweet Tomb (Madras Press). Her art books are often accompanied by visual art and exhibitions surrounding issues of art + text. Dalton makes zines and handmade books, curating shows around them. For her Werewolf Express, she curated part of "Zines Unbound: Werewolves, Kults, and Sarcastic Hippies" at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center. For Mythtym, she has been presenting lectures on topics such as mirrors in horror and the history of photocopy art. She recently has done slide talk/workshops at the Observatory in Brooklyn and at Deitch Projects as part of the PIG Sunday School curated by Gelatin. A paper based on her slide talk/workshop for Las Cienegas Projects will publish in French in Les Editions Particules, and in English in X-Tra.
Slide talk: Friday, January 22, 8pm. Open to the public (free, limited seating
available)
Workshop*: Friday, January 22, 5pm-10pm (by reservation only; includes slide talk)
Exhibition: Opening reception: Saturday, January 23, 7-10pm

The Tanners by Robert Walser
I was lucky enough to review the newly translated Robert Walser novel recently. It is his first novel, and I'd totally recommend it as a starting point into Walser's oeuvre.

Wieden+Kennedy Storytime
Oh! There is one more thing I wanted to tell you about---then I will shut up about my news and post some other things.
Wieden+Kennedy started a radio program and one segment called Storytime focuses on short stories. Seems like a fun idea; you can listen to stories on podcast...Here is a link to the one I did with them, "Frog Hole '08" dedicated to my favorite frog pond in the Catskills. This talented sound engineer, Jason Roark, laid a frog-chirp soundtrack behind the reading and I really like what he did!

I'm reading to celebrate the release of Sweet Tomb and the publisher, Sumanth, is traveling in from Boston to read with me. It should be an interesting event!

Art + Culture blog
Hi
Welcome to this new blog that writer Katie de Moss was sweet enough to make me. Before I begin posting events and news, I thought I'd post a link to my blog at Art + Culture. I post about other events there rather than my own:
