tell you, there's nothing yummier than short fiction, especially from amateurs. Lots of amateurs print their work on expensive bond paper, and that's a delicacy, let me tell you. Try some: chow on these short works from people in Albuquerque. See? I never tasted anything so good that digested so fast. Science fiction books are another story. They're printed on cheap paper that tastes like it came from the moon. I'm glad some contemporary authors are using modern, space-age paper. Science fiction fans must be happy to have these new flavors to choose from. By the way, if you haven't been paying attention in weeks previous, my name is Worm and I am a worm. I don't read books, I consume them, so I only ever talk about dietary concerns. If you want to know what the books in this section are "about," you can go read that yourself, since you have "eyes." I don't have eyes. I don't even know what eyes are. I'm a worm. What's to eat this week: Funny Boy by Shyam Selvadurai On the Edge by C.E. Poverman Monster by John Gregory Dunne An interview with punk poet Tammy Gomez A bio of Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Ford Reviews, reviews, reviews. Yum.
