PANK has posted two stories from Our Island of Epidemics, as part of their August issue, here.

Think of this as a little preview of the little book.

The first, “Writing About Our Island of Epidemics,” is about an epidemic of writing about the island, and the second, “Our Organs Would Explode Inside Us,” is about an epidemic of insatiable hunger. Both can be listened to, for those too lazy to read, or for those who want to hear what my voice sounds like. Plus, the stories are hyperlinked to other stories. Hurray!

An excerpt: “Our island of epidemics had a way of inspiring trust but also of inspiring madness.”

Thanks, Roxane and Matt!
