one or two things about one or two things

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Gigantic /Opium /BOMB end of summer bash. We had a great time, so we hope you did as well! If you missed it, read a recap at The New York Observer.

The Faster Times is still young but going very strong. Some recent highlights from the book section (that I edit) in case you missed:

• Rozalia Jovanovic debates "selling out" and indie books with PGP's Adam Robinson.
• Darin Strauss has a minor bone to pick with Jonathan Franzen.
• James Yeh reviews the new Bolano.
• And I compile some of my favorite literary pieces from The Onion.

I've have a few other rad things in the works that I will tell you about at some future point. Wow, this is a boring way to end a post isn't it?

You Don't Know Me

but... you could if you come to this party:


Gigantic magazine, BOMB magazine and Opium magazine are co-throwing an end of the summer bash. A Gigantic Opium Bomb, if you will. Boozing, schmoozing, DJs, special guests, short plays directed by novelists. What more could you want? You can buy tickets online here.
