–FictionDaily.org, an aggregator site for good reads around the Web, posted Marguerite W. Sullivan’s piece “A Wellworn Likeness,” which they found in Chapter 7 of The Anemone Sidecar, as their featured “short” fiction for July 1 (check their archives by date to find it.)

–A great review of John Olson’s “The Nothing That Is” from Ravenna (brilliant cover by Eve Aschheim). The post features James Merrill reading the Stevens poem “The Snow Man” that inspired the title. Very nice.
–Rudy Wilson’s The Red Truck, a classic saved from languish, was published early this year along with the accompanying volume of Rudy’s shorter works, Sonja’s Blue. We mention this again because the two books, side by side, great reads in themselves, offer more material for the ongoing discussion of the impact made to fine fiction by editor Gordon Lish for Knopf–as in the controversy surrounding Raymond Carver’s work. See for yourself. Summer offer of $5 rebate via PayPal for web orders of either book.
