As a more visual counterpart to various GR and other activities, Maya Edelman and I also maintain Expansive Mouthfeel, an evolving collection of comics, art, ephemera, film stills, etc. In an attempt to combat the regurgitative nature of a lot of social media, we try to stick to material we gather, scan, research, and capture ourselves. Granted, by "maintain" I mean "fire off intermittent month-long bursts of information between long lulls". We're entering one of those months now, so if you have any interest in the sorts of books I write about here, there's a decent chance you'll also be curious about some of the items that appear there.

FYI New York Goodreaders, Jeff Jackson not only wrote one of the better new novels last year, but he's got an incredible piece of immersive atmospheric theater unfolding in midtown this week. Seriously, check this out:

Ambient projections, seamless drone soundtrack, narration via oblique songs, slow-drift trance acting, the encouragement to actual drift in and out of you own dreams on one of 40 beds distributed throughout the set as it drifts through hours of action, all enigmatically wrapped in a story drawn from an unfinished 18th century Chinese novel about the love between a stone and flower -- ie basically unmissable.
