Last Friday night, the New York Public Library hosted 500 people to kick off their “Find the Future” event. One of our editors was there, and so was Electric Literature.

• Christopher Weingarten chats with the members of K-Holes for the Yes In My Backyard series.

• Edward Champion interviews Colleen Lindsay about the online genre-fiction community BookCountry.

• As we are huge fans of The Wire, it’s worth mentioning that two alumni of said show will be starring in a London production of Othello.

• Also in the Wire-alumni department: Wendell Pierce is now on Twitter. If you’re a fan of The Wire, Treme, jazz, or the city of New Orleans, I suspect you’ll find his posts invaluable.

• Warren Ellis on Norman Spinrad’s Bug Jack Barron, newly released in an electronic edition.
