SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATER. So lately all I’ve been able to think about is fiction–reading it, writing it, figuring out how to write it better. I expect soon this energy will burn off and I’ll be back to the usual uneasy negotiation between time spent on fiction and time spent on journalism; but for now, I hope to exploit my current obsessions as much as possible. So expect more posts on the nature of fiction, form, and storytelling. And expect more actual fiction on the site. And don’t hold your breath for political analysis. Sorry….
