ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

I’m just a wee bit tardy in seeing this story about indie publishers in the Weekly Literary Supplement in last week’s LA Weekly, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Vermin centurion Sean Carswell, editor-in-chief at Gorsky Press and author of Barney’s Crew, is one of the 18 publishers profiled, and that your humble host gets a flattering mention as well. I would like to add that I’ve been to a lot of Sean’s readings and have never once seen a bottle or chair used as a missile, although it sounds like a fine idea.
