Great Richard Price short. You hear Western District "Wire" dialogue channeled through his LES cops.
Good chat with August Kleinzahler. Not a big fan, but I approve of his decision to duck the academy. Poet Laureate of Fort Lee is an interesting distinction.
Don't miss the Pablo Escobar photo-essay. There's a flick of his prison sex doll. Gross. Also pictures of his petting zoo.

Impressive fiction from Richard Price, Danielle Evans and Stephen King. SKs story is a bit overly reminiscint of the miracle healing that went on in The Green Mile, but otherwise further proof that he can write with skill on any subject, in any genre.
