Tomorrow is the second instalment of the 8th House Collaboration Series (you may remember that the first one featured our very own Mr Hanson-Finger) and this time around there are 2 Dragnet connections: Ben Ladouceur and Gary Barwin. It’s a pretty stacked line-up, and I would be sad if you missed it just because I didn’t tell you about it. So, you’re welcome, really.

The Puritan Presents: The Second Annual Thomas Morton Memorial Prize in Literary Excellence! (A mouthful, to be sure.) Submit, submit, submit! Cause guys, there is REAL MONEY involved here. Go get it, buy yourself a pizza.

Sabotage Reviews has lovely things to say about Bartleby Snopes along with some mega lovely things to say about our very own Mr. Andrew Battershill. Adorable. 

Dragnet friend, and all around good dude, Spencer Gordon, got a really great review in the National Post, for his book, Cosmo. Yay Spencer!

Dragnet super-friend Jess Taylor’s poem, “Every Light on Every Cab”, is in the inaugural issue of The Acrobat. She say’s it’s based on a true story AND there’s peeing; if that doesn’t entice you, then its awesomeness should.

The shortlist for the Bad Sex in Fiction Award 2012 just came out, and Tom Wolfe is at it again,

“Now his big generative jockey was inside her pelvic saddle, riding, riding, riding, and she was eagerly swallowing it swallowing it swallowing it with the saddle’s own lips and maw—all without a word.”

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
