ed young attacked and injured

Did you hear about this? It’s really terrible. Ed Young, 27, a conceptual artist, is due to undergo surgery in an Italian hospital on Wednesday. Elize Young, his mother, said two Italian men overpowered her son shortly after he had sent an e-mail from an internet cafe and drawing money at an ATM in Ceunen. [...]

home schweet home

Ah, Johannesburg. I can’t believe I’m actually back here. It feels oddly like I belong way more than any other place I’ve ever been. And admittedly, that’s a new feeling. When people in NYC asked me about living in Jozi, I often replied, "it’s completely exhilarating and utterly exhausting." I don’t think I’d have to [...]

the other half

It’s weird to be stuck in a beautiful hotel room in Budapest. Luckily, I was here a few months ago on holiday, so I did see a lot of the city then. This time, it’s pure business. I flew in last minute, had brilliant meals and drinks and a room in a fab part of [...]

Underground Literary Alliance

I know that most of the folks who read this aren’t American… but if any of you follow American literature for what ever reason and find it wanting… it’s worth knowing that there is a group that is resisting the mainstream not just by producing its own work, but by doing the occassional protest and [...]
