Help out Future Tense

On October 19, 2011 By Jason Diamond

Posted by Jason Diamond

I don’t really think Kevin Sampsell expects to become a billionaire publishing playboy by doing Future Tense (although he does deserve it, and probably wouldn’t mind it…). To understand his motives, all you really have to do is read any one of the many releases he’s put out, or just pay attention to the constant stream of updates on the F.T. Facebook, and you quickly come to realize that it’s not only one of the best indies around, but Kevin cares 110% about what he’s doing.

That’s why we really can’t [...]

Morning Bites: Socrates, Where the heck is Houellebecq, Sampsell & Lutz, covering Sonic Youth, and more

On September 15, 2011 By Jason Diamond

Apparently Socrates was nothing like the guy Bill & Ted brought back with them. Salon explains.
Michel Houellebecq has become the Carmen Sandiego of the literary world. Where the heck is he? The Rumpus serves up a duo of great interviews. The first is a conversation between two of our favorite writers, Kevin Sampsell and Gary Lutz. It’s technically Kevin interviewing Gary, but we’re gonna look past that little factoid. Then there’s another one with Misha Glouberman and Sheila Heti. That should tide you over, right? Alex Ross gets profiled by Read More →

Kevin Sampsell/Justin Taylor: 2 Birds With One Blog Post

On January 27, 2010 By Jason Diamond

Over at The Faster Times, I reviewed Kevin Sampsell’s memoir, A Common Pornography. You should read the review, and then go buy the book. In case my review isn’t enough, and you haven’t read anything by Mr. Sampsell, he has a story up at Fifty-Two Stories which is presented by Harper Perennial, the publisher who put out his book.

I’ll go ahead and spoil the review and tell you I absolutely loved the book, and read it back-to-back with another book put out by the same publisher that I loved equally [...]

Bites: Taylor on Sampsell, Jersey Shore Vs. Joshua Ferris, Iggy Pop Writes a Letter, and More

On January 15, 2010 By Jason Diamond

Justin Taylor pens a “peer review” of Kevin Sampsell’s wonderful book, A Common Pornography.

“Some of it’s funny, and some of it’s touching, and some of it’s sad–and a lot of it is two or more of these things at once–but I think what it really succeeds at doing is creating an atmosphere that encompasses all of those states without forcing the reader to choose one”
