Reading Local asked a few other writers to contribute a piece for their re-launching this Summer.
My piece on the theme is now out. It’s a strange little cubicle-landia, ad-agency piece, entitled “Launch Night at Dante’s Ad Agency“, and in the spirit of James Frey, that pretty much happened to me exactly.
My fellow writing-group member Karen Munro had her piece on the same theme (though a different sort of launch) come out last week. It’s called ‘Flight Suit‘, and it’s a great piece. Check it out.

Hey Ben, Enjoyed reading this story….although oddly, some parts hit close to my cubicle.
Thanks Nate – yes, I can imagine. My current book, inevitably, has bits of agency-life in it too. No *particular* individuals, but wee bits of everybody.
I can’t help myself…
I like “Dante’s” a lot.
“Stupidity is the mother of repetition” is one of the funniest lines I’ve read in months.
