~~ from Blake Bailey's Farther & Wilder: The Lost Weekends and Literary Dreams of Charles Jackson
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).

Charles Jackson to Philip Rahv
"'The story kills me to write it,' [Charles Jackson] confessed to Philip Rahv: 'I've never done anything that takes so much out of me; and during the past month it's gotten me down so that I've become neurotic as hell, nervous, depressed, and even at times have thought the only solution is suicide.'"

The Partisan Crowd
Poet Ben Mazer posted a curious sales item in his Delmore Schwartz social-media group. It's a complete run of The Partisan Review from December 1937 to December 1959, and many of the issues are in excellent condition. "The Partisan crowd" also received good mention in Joseph Epstein's recent writing in Commentary Magazine. The essay concerns his early days among the New York Intellectuals when, as a subscriber, he'd avidly read Commentary, The Partisan Review, and Encounter.
