Peter Buck, Warzone Earth, 2015 on Mississippi Records
This is the third solo album from the former R.E.M. guitarist, all on Portland OR’s Mississippi Records. Frequent Buck collaborators present here include Scott McCaughey, Kurt Bloch, and William Rieflin. Buck’s wife Chloe Johnson adds harmony vocals on “Saturday Sunday Monday” and Jeff Tweedy guests on “World Spins Around You.”
It’s a mixed bag – I love Peter Buck but sometimes think he needs an editing eye – but some great stuff.
Recorded at Type Foundry in Portland by Adam Selzer.
My copy, with the “Helicopter” cover, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR – there’s also a version with a “Car” cover.

Wilco, Cousin, 2023 on dBpm
Wilco’s 13th full length studio album, produced by Cate Le Bon, and recorded at the Loft in Chicago. The cover artwork is by Azuma Makoto – see Frozen Flowers 2023. Truly a fantastic Wilco album – if you’ve fallen off the Wilco train time to get back aboard.
My copy via Waterloo Records in Austin TX

I may or may not have come up with this class after a conversation here.
The Magical Object In Fiction: Objects can be props, but they can also accumulate greater meaning. We'll start with the functional objects already in most stories & turn them into reflections of character, conduits for intimacy, motifs, & powerful metaphors—creating dimension, complexity, & resonance in our stories.
7/12 - 8/22 Online & Asynchronous

I wrote about a story from Farah Ali's The People Want to Live and the way a simple description can come to life through the layering of seeming contradiction.

I'm also going to be teaching a remote & asynchronous class on voice & perspective.
We'll examine a variety of narration techniques and the opportunities & challenges of each.
Topics include: POV, filtering, personality, sensibility, reliability, secrets & mystery, omniscience, tense, narrative distance, curation of objects, narrative strategy, & some other strange stuff
Starts Mar. 15

This time I wrote about Paul Yoon's SNOW HUNTERS and how a passage that layers contradictory emotions can get us to _feel_ in an amazing way, creating an experience beyond what can be articulated.

Since we've all been talking about how to find and develop interesting characters, I feel like sharing an old craft post about a fun way to think about describing them.
It's about Silvia Moreno-Garcia's (amazing!) CERTAIN DARK THINGS and physical description that is really alive and thrilling.

I wrote this a while back about MONGRELS (by Stephen Graham Jones) and the sense of wonder, which is something I'm absurdly fascinated by.
How do we create--and hold!--such a fleeting sensation? I love thinking about it.
And I'd love to learn your ideas about other ways to play with it.

This time I wrote about Megan Gidding's The Women Could Fly and a moment that is small but truly thrilling. It's about subtext and landscape and a weirding of the way energy flows within a passage.
Also, the book is magnificent.
