Fans of Chuck Klosterman may be interested in my review of his latest book, The Visible Man, in New York Journal of Books.
The Apex of the 80′s
Sometimes I wonder if I dreamed this, but apparently it’s real: on February 11, 1986, Boy George and Culture Club made a guest appearance on The A-Team.
Boy George and Mr. T on the same screen! To top it off, if you look closely, you can see Ronald Reagan and E.T. fighting over a Rubik’s Cube in the background of this scene.

The Grievers
As I get into the groove of another school year, I’m pleased to announce that my second novel, The Grievers, will be available in May of 2012. I plan to post more details about the book as the publication date draws near, but for now, here’s the cover that my publisher, The Permanent Press, is planning to use. At the moment, I’m also working on some last-minute revisions to the manuscript and trying to set up some readings. If any book bloggers out there are interested in review copies, author interviews, or having me wash your car in exchange for your promise to buy my book, drop me a line!
