"Write me an autograph in the village they call me Sophie cocaine" Sophie Podolski, tr. Emiliano Battista and Ros Schwartz. I take Bolaño's body of work to be an infinite syllabus, and I've discovered so many rad writers that way, esp. Podolski. www.artnews.com/art-in-ameri...

You never know what book is gonna save you. When my kids & I were reeling after the death of their sis, that bk was Taproot by Keezie Young— found by chance on the teen shelves of our library— a library now under threat. Big presses w/YA $$: you should be out here fighting for your readers.
