The book, now considered a classic, is currently being taught in numerous universities and features a number of new writers who have since gone on to be well-known and important figures: David Sedaris, Dale Peck, Dorothy Allison, Scott Heim, Eileen Myles, and others. <BR><BR>With the advent of the Internet, the energy and talent that produced the zine movement gradually moved online, and that same vitality now fuels the similarly grassroots if higher-tech phenomenon of blogging, with individual blogs forming the early-21st-century equivalent of the zine. The blog has provided a new kind of forum for new writers to disseminate their work and form mutually interested and supportive communities outside the major publishing industry, whose conservatism and biases toward university-trained fiction writers is well-known.<BR><BR> Dennis Cooper is the editor of the imprint Little House on the Bowery/Akashic Books. He is author of eight novels, most recently <I>God Jr.,/I. (Grove Press) and ,I.The Sluts,/I. (Carroll & Graf.) His novels have been translated into eighteen foreign languages. He has guest-edited sections of fiction and nonfiction for Bookforum, Nerve, the L.A. Weekly Literary Supplement, the Village Voice Literary Supplement, and other publications. He is a Contributing Editor of Artforum Magazine. </I></P><I><P> <A color="#0000FF" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=zkox77bab.0.unwn57bab.nawc4abab.4335&ts=S0226&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skylightbooks.com%2FNASApp%2Fstore%2FIndexJsp%3Fs%3Dstoreevents%26eventId%3D337607" shape="rect" style="COLOR: #0000FF;">more info</A> </P> </I></FONT><I> </I></TD></TR><TR><TD colspan="1" rowspan="1"> <FONT color="#000000" face="Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2" style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;COLOR: #000000;"> <BR> <FONT color="#000000" face="Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2" style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;FONT-WEIGHT: bold;COLOR: #000000;"> <FONT color="#000000" face="Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="4" style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;color:#000000;">CalArts MFA Writing Grads I: Allison Carter, Daiana Feuer, Cory Garfin, Maximus Kim, Daniel Ruiz</FONT> <DIV>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</DIV> </FONT> <FONT color="#000000" face="Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="3" style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;color:#000000;">Saturday, March 24 at 5 p.m.</FONT><P> NextWords: Graduating students of the CalArts MFA Writing Program read new work.<BR><BR> This is part of a series of readings presented by The CalArts MFA Writing Program and the CalArts School of Critical Studies.
