An Obnoxious but Curious Review of Expelled from Eden

…on a Salon.com blog. Interesting when someone puts this much time into being so critical on a book published 7 years ago.

William T. Vollmann: An Annotated Bibliography

Two years in the compiling — there were many delays for this and that reason — I have at last turned in the annotated bibliography of William Vollmann’s work to The Scarecrow Press (imprint of Rowman and Littlefield, a big and leading independent academic publisher in Maryland). Some production issues need to be dealt with, and the book should be available this fall in a clothbound edition. I would say this concludes my Vollmann Studies, after the other two books, but there are two more essays in the works…

What Will I Write and Publish in 2011?

I’ll be focusing on completing a number of overdue non-fiction projects, such as a Carver crit book and Carver sociological biography, the Vollmann annotated biblio, snd the updated paperback version of my auto/ethnography, Zona Norte.  Hopefully as well, my monographs on Barry malzberg and Robert Silverberg’s softcore titles from the 1960s.

Along with these, the only fiction title I have scheduled so far is a Wildside Double of a short novel with time travel elements, Poison from a Dead Sun, and a collection of time travel SF stories, The Chronotope.

But there will be more…

I have two collections of stories I am shopping around, Cardiff by the Sea and This is My Time.

Two crime noir novels are also on the market: Hard Cold Whisper and A Bra Full of Bullets.

I plan to finish my big novel\, Lunch on the Grass, and two YA novels for the agent to sell…

I might complete a book-length essay, The Moon Under Her Feet, about Americans in Tijuana.

Of course, there is the hope that my current collection of stories, Pictures of Houses with Water Damage, will garner decent reviews and get some attention…

I would like to find a home at a decent NY trade house this year.

And of course there is Tinsel Town: screenplays, TV pilots, and meetings…

I will return to this blog post this time next year and see what I did or did not finish, and what books I published.

Drama, The Dress, and The Comfort of Women available in Kindle format, and you can also get ebook versons at The Olympia Press and on Mobipocket.  Want a hardcopy paperback that Blue Moon issued some years back?  Those are still getable.

My two new books, Star Trek and William T. Vollmann, are doing well, for small press academic works.
