Paste Resurrection
Posted on February 1st, 2011
On a recent visit to New York the ever-charming Charles McNair, Books Editor of Paste entertained guests at the sumptuous Jade Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel where he let us know the good news that Paste Magazine will be continuing its excellent arts coverage online. The magazine made a name for itself by being a pioneer in the free music biz, offering free sampler cds of new music with every issue. As the music has gone online so it seems natural that Paste as a music-focused magazine will too.




The New York Public Library is my Mecca and Medina, it’s the most gorgeous temple to literature I’ve ever seen (unless you count Nature, though would literature be a temple then to nature…hmm). So to be reading there is a huge, huge thrill. The reading series is called “Periodically Speaking” and it’s hosted by CLMP (Council for Literary Magazines and Presses) who asks editors from literary magazines to introduce emerging writers from their pages. I’ll be reading from a piece upcoming in Tin House (Fall Issue, on the shelves Oct 1st). Come!
