Brain Cookies 2

Here's the second installment of Brain Cookies, Versal's daily link round up. Thoughts to chew on.

There is a great looking exhibition of Dennis Cooper's manuscripts and journals at the Kunstverein in Amsterdam. I'm definitely going to this.

Here is a list of alternative names considered for the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, perhaps one of the greatest comedy/satires of all time. This excellent artifact comes courtesy of the wonderful Lists of Note blog.

Dan Schank delivers a nice, short post on HTML Giant on why he, as a painter, is envious of the novelist. There aren't many people saying that these days.

Who would like a Tea Party children's coloring book to deface? I know I would.

How about an anti-capitalism essay by Alfred M. Bonanno? Interesting stuff there.

Promises to be more literary and less political tomorrow. I'm just feeling a bit ornery today.

Brain Cookies

Starting today, the kind folks at Versal are attempting to link to a few interesting articles about literature that are floating around the internet, as well as some links of intellectual interest.

Megan has suggested I come up with a name for the link series, but I am terribly slow with titles (being as important as they are) and will announce a title later this week. Here are a few links for today that I found interesting.

Kyle Minor suggests a few comic novels for your digestion. I have to admit, the only one I know is Erasure.

The always excellent Adam Curtis outlines the relationship between bodybuilding and imperialism. A must read.

The Los Angeles Review of Books reviews two new books about the marijuana trade. Seems those hippies are getting what they want after all.

The Washerman's Dog blog gives us a little history on the relation between Jazz and Islam. Baptists churches on the East Coast face Mecca? No way.

Finally, how about a topless Hemingway slideshow?

Literature Party AWP 2012

The Versal crew will be in Chicago for the AWP 2012 conference with our very own table. There are so many events, but it looks as though the Literature Party supporting young, Chicagoan authors, should be very exciting. Check it out.
