The Rumpus Books Monday Supplement

Happy day after America Day, everyone! I know it’s not Sunday, when I’m usually here, but I’m here today anyway—on a Monday—just to mess with your head. So here’s what Rumpus books was up to last week.

The Queen of Flash Fiction — A review of Pretty, a collection by Kim Chinquee.

A review of The Private Lives of Trees, a novella by Alejandro Zambra.

Time Loops, Child Molesters, And Sparkly  Tube Tops — A review of I Have to Go Back To 1994 and Kill a Girl, poetry by Karyna McGlynn.

A review of O Fallen Angel, a novel by Kate Zambreno.

Also, be sure not to miss Generation Gap #4: Sexting in the 21st Century and an essay on Walt Whitman’s favorite bar.
