This was a fun and interesting read. I wanted more like this, but I missed the part where The Awl stopped publication early this year:

Damn.




I knew I had made a good decision to read this when I got to the line, "Mayahuel was not a cactus either." I wonder where this Frank Smith is writing now.


At least the writers got to have a little fun before they left, with sentences such as "like a fluffle of bunniculas had an agave hoedown"


It was a great little blog for a while. Then it wasn't, then it died. Still, I found out about some really great writers from there. (Maria Bustillos, Natasha Vargas-Cooper among them.)


I had the opposite reaction to the writing quality on display, and therefore to the magazine's fate.
