Welcome to Litsy!

Yay #bookmail from @RachelO #inbetween #giveaway!!! Looking forward to this one.

I love the idea behind this #giveaway by@RachelO about short reading #inbetween longer books. I‘m a long-form enthusiast and rarely read short stuff beyond news articles, with the occasional academic journal or essay collection. I‘m looking forward to Alexander Chee‘s essay collection which just came out, HOW TO WRITE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL.

I would love IMAGINARY CITIES. Thank you for coordinating this, @RachelO !

Darran Anderson's (Twitter:@oniropolis) epic of creative nonfiction is bursting with #impossible cities (airships, underwater, cities that walk away). Planners, designers, novelists, comic creators, artists and idealists are all included. It's a sprawling, frustrating, inspiring book.

I think it started life as essays: http://www.3ammagazine.com/3am/impossible-cities/

And the publishers Influx are a small awesome indie.

For the start of #24in48, I'm finishing some half-read books. This is a vast, sprawling, epic piece of non-fiction. Cities in comics, plans, art, dreams... utopias, dystopias, unbuilt, ruins, myths, the afterlife. So many quotes, so many glimpses or comments in the footnotes that take you off at a tangent. Had trouble finding my way out the other side!
