At the urging of my one fan

Apparently there's someone reading this blog other than me. At the urging of my one fan, I'm writing here to say that I'm working on a short story with The New Yorker, which should be out some time in the next couple months. I've also got a few short pieces coming out in GQ Magazine, on subjects as varied as bruised testicles and the pain of rejection from a woman I didn't really want to be with anyway. I've also written about an R&B singer named Jaheim for GQ, a whole 800 words, and Men's Vogue is holding a story I wrote about a horse that farted at a friend's wedding, right in the middle of the ceremony.

I'm going to Portland, Oregon, in a couple of weeks to give a reading at Portland State U. I'll probably buy a Portland State T shirt when I'm there. I taught at U of Michigan last fall and regret not having bought a Michigan T shirt.
