Elmer Diktonius—Swedish/Finnish radical on the road
Was it poetry I wrote? I thought I exploded and hurled my iron-splinter into the world.

[…]
My Father’s Apartment, by Michael Kimball
Sometimes in the summer, my father would make us all get in the family car and then he would drive us around on these country roads. All I really remember from those drives is how each of us looked out our own open window—that and how loud the wind could be and how the wind […]

“On the Death of the Author,” by Álvaro Enrigue
Some stories are, seemingly, impossible to tell.

James Kelman coming to New York!
Little Star loves James Kelman. To our eye he is one of the most lyrical, subtle, inventive craftsmen of prose today. His new book, Mo Said She Was Quirky, which inhabits the mind of a woman croupier for a single inverted day, is a miracle of sympathetic intelligence. He is making a rare visit […]
