So you’ve read all the books by Jersey Devil Press by now, right? And you’re all caught up on our epic Anniversary Invitational issue, yeah? But you’re still hankering for something else to read?

Then check out Sophomoric Philosophy by contributor Victor David Giron, currently on pre-order through Curbside Splendor.

Sophomoric Philosophy is the story of Alejandro Lopez, a thirty-something first generation Mexican-American who is struggling with his direction in life. Navigating the realities of women, work, and his Mexican identity, he still can’t let go of his interests and the childhood philosophy he and his friends discussed in the streets and backyard parties of suburban Chicago.

You can read excerpts here, or watch the trailer here!

Sophomoric Philosophy is due out November 16. Victor’s an awesome guy; the book won’t be anything less than that.

Breathing New Life Into the Written Word

In case you missed it the other day, there’s a nice little article about electronic magazines and how the internet is actually helping literature.

Literature lovers are using the web to break down barriers to both reading and writing. Netizens are hooked on E-zines that feature both amateur and established writers.

Not to mention, they pimp Short, Fast & Deadly in the same paragraph as the New Yorker.

If you have less than a minute to spend on reading, Short Fast and Deadly, a project by Joseph Quintela offers you poetry that could fit into a Twitter message (140 characters or less) and prose that doesn’t extend beyond a paragraph. Pressure of this sort does wonders for creativity and Quintela releases a fresh virtual issue every week.

Way to go, Joseph.
