BITMAP: As Good as New | Style of Consequence | Walt Whitman: Camden's Good Grey Poet by Tami Fertig
In The Event That...
You Are a Master of Disguise
The most interesting part of Impostors is its between-the-lines comment on our culture's obsession with
celebrity — that an entire industry is built around carbon copies of
the already-famous. —Molly Eichel

"The majority of people who go to the theater are older. We are trying to invite people from all different economic

Pimp and Circumstance
Shining City by Seth Greenland
Greenland efficiently maps out a bumpin' joyride of sex, prostitutes, murder, betrayal, revenge and extravagant bar mitzvahs. —Char Vandermeer
Sense Accessibility
Beijing Coma by Ma Jian
From the gurney in his mother's flat, he combs through his memory, reliving the minutiae of his life: the
books he read, the women he bedded, the schoolmates who influenced his
worldview, a leftist father he never quite understood. —John Vettese
