Stefani Nellen's The Attraction of Asphalt, which appeared in issue 17 (June 15, 2007), has been selected for inclusion in Best of the Web 2007 (Dzanc Books). The series is edited by Nathan Leslie (The Arrival, issue 10) and the 2007 issue is guest edited by Steve Almond (The Evening of the Dock, issue 4; Pornography, issue 9; When the Toasts Stopped Being Funny, issue 18).

Top Ten Page Views for June

Just realized that I'm incredibly late with this. Almond's back on top again, probably because linkage to Amato from the front page went away on the 15th when the new issue went live. Speaking of Almond, I'm reading the galley of his next book right now, and there's an essay in there about Vonnegut that's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
