Jammin' in the name of the (dark) lord

Dazed and Confused has done a mini-feature on the Lit-jam we did for Beat the Dust.

In the same issue, there's an interview with Tony O'Neill and a tribute to David Foster Wallace written by Lee Rourke.

It goes:

Literary Jam Session: Beat the Dust

Featuring figureheads from the Brutalists and the Offbeat Generation, online litzine Beat the Dust recently celebrated their first year in the business by throwing in an improvised exploration of collective creative writing - where each one had to write a short story in relay, with the order selected at random. Beginning with the question "What's so special about Kansas?" the 5,600 word story jumps between Doppelganger-populated scenes, muses on causality, spatial and temporal schism, a bipolar Kansas City, and features cameos from Moby Dick's Ploynesian harpoonist Queepueg and Burrough's Dr Benway. Brilliant, but you have got to feel sorry for poor old Toto as Dorothy accidentally sucks the canine up into a Dyson hoover. - William Alderwick.
