Updates: Radio appearance, Fisher essay, column, Frank conversation, book order info

Hi, folks! Sorry for not keeping this website updated enough. The other day I had a great conversation with the hosts of Eye 94 on Lumpen Radio, and yesterday my long-in-preparation essay about the work of the cultural critic Mark Fisher went up at Commonweal. The conversation I had with Thomas Frank about his The People, No is up at the Literati web site. Here’s the most recent installment of my new books column for Plough. And finally here’s ordering information for my book Midwest Futures, which makes a great stocking stuffer. (Consider pairing it with other Belt books, such as Raechel’s, which just got onto NPR’s Books of the Year list, or Vivian Gibson’s, which was pronounced Book of the Year by John Wilson. Or any number of other ones. Good people. And most of their books really will fit in a stocking just fine.)
