Merry and Bright!

By Antoine On December 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Fotoz, podkats, Publishing

I must have been extra nice this year, because Santa hooked me up with some amazing end-of-year goodies:

A rave review of PANORAMA CITY in the NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW by the inimitable Adam Ross!*

The Dark Magic of Author Photos

By Antoine On February 14, 2012 · 5 Comments · In Fotoz, Publishing, Typign, vanitas

I have a confession to make about my author photo: It’s a lie.

Now Starring…

The temporary home of poet G.M. Quinte, currently residing in his cousin’s guesthouse and on my server. Stunningly opaque free verse. The Slow Paparazzo. His motto: “Right Place + Wrong Time = 100% Fame.” Jean-Jacques Arsenault’s inspirational [...]

Lookie what I found in my inbox!

Veronique du Turenne was down Mexico way recently for the Guadalajara International Book Fair, where she snapped this significant shot of a massive electronic wall celebrating L.A. authors.

This year’s “Guest of Honor” was Los Angeles–the first time a city (as opposed to a [...]

OMG it’s a baby blog

By Antoine On August 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment · In Fotoz, Publishing, Reading

Okay, not totally a baby blog.

I very much enjoyed David Ulin’s LA Times piece on reading in the 21st century. Maybe you will, too.

It inspired me to shut down the Facebook, Scrabble, Twitter, email, etc., and pick up the latest issue of A Public Space. I was blown [...]
