Readers, I’ve got some news.
McSweeney’s Internet Tendency has published a humor piece of mine, FOR YOUR CRIMES YOU HAVE BEEN SENTENCED TO A BEACH VACATION.
This is my first appearance in McSweeney’s. I actually wrote the piece while at the beach, so the authenticity rings true.
Enjoy.
There’s good beach reading and there’s bad beach reading. I found a copy of John Grisham’s The Appeal at a beach condo this year and elected to read it, having never heard about it before. While Grisham’s legal thrillers aren’t the most literary around, you can always count on them to be well researched and executed. This is no less true of his sprawling 2008 novel.
The blog, like myself, has taken a vacation. See you in two weeks!
