Roxane Gay is the Judge of the Book of the Month for June. She picked The Veins of the Ocean by Patricia Engel. Because she is perfection and her taste is, therefore, exquisite. Also I agree with her and think that this book is amazing.
The finalists have been announced for The Caine Prize for African Writing.
BookLife announces a new prize for fiction.
Feminist Frequency has a newsletter wherein there are interviews with extremely interesting women, links to projects and updates on their video series.
...the fuck is this? by Bim Adewunmi (also a newsletter) mostly ruminations and observations in short-ish form.
Not much more than that today, as I am still reeling from Shakespeare Festival's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. A group of about 15 of us saw the first preview last night and while I have a lot of really important things to say about it, I will stick with: it is amazing. I recommend everyone go and see it. If you don't live in St. Louis, you should plan a trip here before the 26th of June and see this show.
