Meanwhile, outside of New York

Steve Erickson is profiled at the LA Times.

Which is good, even though stats like this make me wanna hang it up and take up tax farming, or something:

Erickson helped anticipate a mongrel movement now called "slipstream," which also includes Haruki Murakami and Kelly Link, and that contains elements of horror and fantasy. It's made him a kind of godfather to young writers, but it has not translated into sales. The well-reviewed "Our Ecstatic Days" has sold fewer than 2,000 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan, since its release in February '05.


Whatevs. I mean, it's only one of the best books of the decade. No biggie.
