"There’s a connection, a mutual understanding. Two waves one over. One grins. One breathes on one’s palm. One decides to chance it with two. Three will never find out. Three’s busy at home, a continent away, with half and third." - Christopher Linforth mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

I was E-in-C of this journal in the one year this guy wasn't in charge. Long story about him and the other guy buying and selling the journal back to each other. Glad I got out before this nonsense.

Tom Crewe Β· My Hands in My Face: Ocean Vuong’s Failure In On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, Vuong considered himself to be reworking the traditional novel in a poetic vein....

The latest takedown of Ocean Vuong seems to be part of pattern of UK critics absolutely ripping his prose apart while US critics lap it up. I'm on Team UK on this one: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

The visitors A place to remember.

This was once a thriving site. A planetary mine that was a hive of activity. Now, it is silent. A memorial to those who lost their lives. A place of comfort for those affected. A place to visit for as long as you care to remember…
