Akashic Press Has A New Blog

Michael Berger bio ↓ · November 5th, 2009 · filed under books

“Living in Brooklyn (as 3/4 of the Akashic Staff does), discussions about Irony usually in end hipster-bashing sessions. Williamsburg is rendered as a mecca of self-posturing, detachment and apathy. It’s easy to be negative!

Enter Trinie Dalton, who does the hard work of putting her writing to use, creating a world full of positive value.”

One of my favorite indie presses, Akashic Press has a new blog!

I especially enjoyed hearing about some of the recent titles in The Little House On The Bowery series.

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
