Backwards City Review. Good work. Buy one here and support a cool Greensboro-based endeavor. First edition has stuff by Michael Parker, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Cory Doctorow, and many others...fiction, non-fiction, poetry, graphics/comix...what are you waiting for? Cheap! Now!

And of course you should be reading the blog every day. 9:26:40 AM    comment []
