Great Farts of Literature

We are now well into the long terrible months for which there are no seasonally themed giant Reese’s. It’s time to invent a summer shape! Flip-flop? Sunglasses? I would settle for repurposing the egg as “indeterminate scat” if it meant continued access to the correct proportion of PB : chocolate
Proud to have been “the first complaint.” I ordered a pack of the little Baphomets on Etsy and will keep them in my purse. P.S. I’m a big fan of Jesus, just a bigger fan of religious nondiscrimination.
I didn’t realize how much I missed Nebraska. I operate at a very Nebraska speed (read: not fast). I’m back for a reading at Francie & Finch this Saturday April 18 at 4:30! Should be a good time. I’m also being interviewed tomorrow at 10 on Friday Live (gulp). francieandfinch.com/event/visiti...
I saw one on the scale at my doctor’s office and had a real awkward conversation with the front desk about it probably not being appropriate to display religious iconography on medical equipment at a non-privately-run clinic. Not to mention Jesus tipped the scale!
Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Bookstores rule. I’ll be up in Cleveland at Loganberry Books from 3-4 greeting people and stamping/signing books.
I knew I couldn’t be the only one looking for a 2-inch Baphomet figurine to offer to all the public institutions currently displaying Jesus figurines (both local post offices, for instance).

I made up a bunch of funny book titles to illustrate a point. If you, too, want to write about a trend in scholarly publishing, get in touch with the team at Feeding the Elephant, who are totally lovely to work with!
Grateful to the 4 or 5 people who've already sent excellent leads for new farts to add to the database & to the folks who helped me make the original list (esp. my colleagues at OSUP & my book club). Thanks to Lit Hub for publishing this adaptation. It was a real blast! lithub.com/seven-of-the...
