We’ve been catching up on other things (namely sleep) since we’ve been home. Rest assured that updates are allways on the back of our minds. Sometimes at the front, but usually we don’t act on those…

While you wait, here is some multimedia to peruse. The Only Rev page timeline should be updated soon with news that was from October and November.

MZD on KCRW’s Bookworm

mzdinfo — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 06:21:00 +0000

On Thursday, MZD was a featured guest on KCRW’s Bookworm.

THU, OCT 5, 2006, 2:30P-3:00P
Bookworm
Mark Z. Danielewski

Host: Michael Silverblatt

Only Revolutions
(Pantheon)
There’s no mistaking a novel by Mark Danielewski for any other. This new one can be read forward, backward and upside down. It has multi-colored inks; two sewn-in bookmarks (green and gold); and a circular structure. Here, we explore how the book’s design reflects the joy-ride/killing spree of its two perpetual teenagers as they careen through time and space.
