Pinky's Paperhaus

Lisa Glatt and David Hernandez

This is a very nice picture of Lisa Glatt. The only thing wrong with it, really, is that it's missing her hubby David Hernandez. The two of them make a joint appearance at Pinky's Paperhaus on Tuesday the 26th.

Lisa's latest is the short story collection The Apple's Bruise, out in paperback on Simon & Schuster. You can also now find her debut novel in paperback. It's A Girl Becomes A Comma Like That, which the NYT Book Review described as "authentic, substantial and engaging."

David's second poetry collection is due out in 2006. He's also a visual artist who, coincidentally, has designed Lisa's book covers.

I have a hunch they might bring a bit of Catpower, but beyond that the music they'll play is a mystery. Find out by listening online at 4:30pm Pacific on killradio.org. If you miss it, check for the podcast in iTunes, or stream it from the Pinky library.

Kevin Smokler on his way

The editor of Bookmark Now will be on Pinky's Paperhaus today at 4:30pm. He has repeatedly threated to bring bad heavy and/or hair metal, and I believe he may not be kidding. Which would be kind of awesome. Ratt! Poison!

In the back of his book, which extolls the virtues of writing in our non-literary age, he lists many web sites. Here are his favorite book-related magazines:

The Believer
Bookmarks Magazine
Rain Taxi
Three Penny Review
Women's Review

Take a gander and tune in today at 4:30pm at www.killradio.org to hear more happy hints from Kevin.
