Time for a plug: many, many people have effectively avoided their workday by browsing the contents of IdentityTheory.com. You should join them, if you have not. I bear the illustrious title of “Our Man In Pennsylvania” over at IDt, which means…well, we’re not really sure. I do something there, from time to time, sometimes with a red pencil, sometimes with a sliderule.
IdentityTheory is the baby of Mr. Matt Borondy, whom I’ve never met in person, yet whose emails I enjoy immensely, when they come, which they do, now and then. Mr. Borondy, besides editing a fantastic literary mag website, seems to spend much of his time driving around the southern portion of the USA, playing poker, breaking computers, drinking, sleeping, visiting other people’s dogs. I can think of no one more qualified to edit a serious literary publication.
Of the handful of things written by me on the site, one of them is an essay that originally appeared in an anthology called Bookmark Now, pubbed by Basic Books this summer, edited by the always enthusiastic Kevin Smokler. My point of saying this is to direct you back to IDt where my esteemed colleague, the all-around big-thought-thinker Robert Birnbaum recently interviewed the lovely and talented Paul Collins, another Bookmark Now contributor. Mr. Collins is, I think, perhaps, a very dangerous individual, a rabble-rouser, a troublemaker; I advise you to read the interview.
