“The Sunday Rumpus Interview: Tim Parrish”
[Parrish is the author of Red Stick Men, a collection of short fiction, and
Fear and What Follows: The Violent Education of a Christian Racist, A Memoir,
which Davenport calls “as brave and chilling a confession and Bible lesson as
you’ll read this year or next decade probably” (16 February 2014).]

“Norwegian Nobel Laureate, Once Shunned, Is Now Celebrated”
[New York Times article about Norwegian novelist Knut Hamsun, author
of the reknowned novel Hunger, who was notorious for his spectacular
wartime betrayal of his country by supporting the Nazis; he even gave his Nobel
Prize in Literature (1920) as a gift to Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels.]

| Nick Kimbro and Rachel Levy |
“Architectures of Possibility: An Interview with Lance Olsen”

“Alice in Quantumland: A Charming Illustrated Allegory of Quantum
Mechanics by a CERN Physicist”
“Besides the clever concept, two things make the book especially remarkable:
It flies in the face of gender stereotypes with a female protagonist who sets out to make
sense of some of the most intense science of all time, and it features [Robert] Gilmore’s
own magnificent illustrations for a perfect intersection of art and science, true to recent
research indicating that history’s most successful scientists also dabbled in the arts.”

“Flash Fiction: What’s It All About?”
[Publishing tips by the Founding Editor of The Review Review
“Flash isn’t a fad, it’s an art; and while I hope people can have fun
with it, its pursuit should still be taken seriously.”
—Tara Masih, editor of Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Writing Flash Fiction]
