The Rumpus Sunday Book Blog Roundup

Seth Fischer bio ↓  ·  September 5th, 2010  ·  filed under books

It’s Labor Day weekend, which we get, partially, because the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals killed and injured a bunch of workers while breaking a strike and then Grover Cleveland felt bad about it. Or he was scared. One of the two. Now you can’t say you didn’t learn something today.

Now, book blogs!

Seth Fischer's writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Swink, Pank, Guernica, Monkeybicycle, Gertrude, and elsewhere. He's working on a novel about a girl who accidentally raises an army and destroys the world, and he's founding editor of The Splinter Generation. He also teaches and tutors and administrates and does copyediting and copywriting so that he can pay bills, but that only works sometimes. If you could help him make that work all the time, he would probably give you a hug, but only if you wanted one. Reach him at seth.fischer (at) gmail.com or @sethfischer. More from this author →
