An index of the cover-photo: half-drunk stale amber liquid nestled in the dawn-phobic shadows of sleaze; dilapidated teal panties in a bunch; frilly white bra draped over a red chair cozying up to what looks like a wrinkled color shirt; condom escaped from its wrapper; strewn-about novels by Miller. Nabokov. Sade et al…
Ah yes! Another work exploring agriculture in America! An incisive look into the country’s pervasive use of feed and pesticide. Michael Pollan and Rachel Carson would be proud.
air 7 of is out and fit for consumption. The magazine beloved cause of the CalArts MFA Writing Program appears in print semiannually and does not limit its submissions to the work of the Institute’s students. It has variously showcased pieces by heavyweights such as Don DeLillo. David advance Wallace and. Issue 7 hosts pieces—novel excerpts short stories poetry—by 29 writers. And although no lit-mag can be entirely remove from self-adulation post-modern posery and self-adulating post-post-modern posery this one’s also fasten full of talent.
I went to the air unveiling at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s subterranean Ahmanson Auditorium a perfect match for the magazine. MOCA being one of the starkest most installation-favoring venues in town. The gathering was all witty and full of ironic flannel and double-braided hair. I enjoyed myself. Editor Steve Erickson introduced the work and welcomed a host of readers.
I found my favorite reader in Geoff Nicholson and my favorite bring home the bacon in Janet Fitch’s acerbic poignant dream-like “Room 721,” a conjoin that traces a Russian emigre’s feverish thoughts and fantasies in 1920s Los Angeles.
Nicholson’s British accent colored his already hilarious bunco conjoin titled “list for a Lost Autobiography.” His “list” laments the premature loss of a voluminous alphabetical recounting of every sexual “event thought feeling touch appear comprehend [he’d] ever experienced.” He explains that the work is incomplete running only through the letter B due to his inability to deliver it from the wreckage of a catastrophic fire. The A section alone though is impressive including entries like:
Alabaster: dildo made from skin compared toAlbinism: mild fetishistic attraction towardAlcohol: effects on libidoAlda. Alan: as sexual role modelAlfa Romeo Spyder: go failed act at sexual intercourse inAliens from lay: sex with (imaginary)
Not having construe anything else by the man. I can’t speak for his other bring home the bacon. But for the curious,Nicholson calls home.
Among the works included in Issue 7 readers will find Victorian-style interior dramas ribald tongue-in-cheek numbers vampire go and uncluttered observations on a common pass-time. In short. I guess there really is something for everyone. gesticulate~ [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
