Any recommendations for an audiobook (or podcast) on the making of Star Wars (the original movie/trilogy)? Going to be commuting a lot post-holidays, and need a break from my England-in-the-Middle-Ages kick.

a good way to get me to do something I don’t want to do is to tell me the honor of England is at stake.

Last year I started keeping a list of short stories I read. Sometimes I read one and my reaction is that of an Italian chef in a Bertolli ad, who is moved to tears that someone other than him, some Bertolli fuck, has made-a a lasagna so-a perfect, so-a sincere. Then I put an asterisk by that title.

Thank you to everyone at Blue Mesa Review for publishing my story “Christian Kings and Stolen Cars” in their new (50th!) issue. Come for the great work by some really talented writers. Stay for my weird-ass story that includes the Norse goddess Frigg watching a John Mulaney special in bed.
