A quick shout-out to my friend Kevin Smokler, whose new book Bookmark Now!: Writing in Unreaderly Times hits the shelves this week. Kevin founded the sadly-missed Central Booking, is a regular speaker at SXSW, maintains a weblog at Where There’s Smoke and is an Inkblots alum to boot. Attaboy Kevin! Kevin kicks off the party […]
