FREE BOOKS ARE AWESOME GET SOME
[Roxane Gay / November 29th, 2010 / Shiny ]I don’t have the energy for doing some elaborate contest so tell me something interesting then claim the book you want by noting the title you are taking in the comments. Please e-mail me your address if you are successful in “winning” the book object of your desire. My e-mail is roxane at pankmagazine dot com. I will not track you down and then we’ll both be sad and someone else will get your book and then you’ll always wonder what could have been. I’m sad already, just thinking about it.
FOUR NO MORE COPIES OF HE’S TALKING TO THE FAT LADY BY xTx
Ben Greenman’s Celebrity Chekhov
Mel Bosworth’s Kismet, Maternal Wisdom, and Grease Stains. (I’m sure I got that wrong)
Aaron Burch’s How to Predict the Weather
Paula Bomer’s Baby.
Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom.
X to motherfucking X!!!!
That’s supposed to say X T Motherfucking…
I wonder if George Michael hums FREEDOM to himself when he passes bookstores with displays of Franzen’s book? Or if Franzen has a leather jacket like that one in the video? Such things to ponder.
These are critical, critical questions.
I know. Such questions have their finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist or something. Does this mean I win the Franzen?
You would have won but you didn’t indicate you wanted the book…. Sorry I didn’t get that you wanted the book.
No worries. I can be cryptic. Thanks for playing, anyway!
I’ve been meaning to read this xTx for a little while now, but the website says it’s sold out. Apparently, you’ve been hoarding them. Where the gods take away football, they in turn give free chapbooks. Yes.
slide tackling you into a pool of popcorn, roxane gay.
i would love a copy of xtx’s chap, which i missed out on buying!
ADDRESS!
woohoo! email on the way
Keep meaning to get Baby. Also still trying to understand what the big deal with babies is. I made faces at one today and it made faces back. So I’m starting to get it.
the nice thing about having a baby around is you’re never the shortest person in the room.
and that is a rare thing for me
me, too. that’s why i’m trying to find ways to stunt their growth for good.

Yes.
Ah. Dang. In just a minute after Mike. Oh well. I’ve plenty to read right now.
