Tony O’Neill<\/a>, one of the rising stars of the Offbeat Generation<\/a> (who also happens to be a Brutalist<\/a>), organised the recent Userlands<\/em><\/a> reading in New York. Here he presents the readers from left to right:<\/p>\n

Zac German<\/strong>: turned up late, read, and then vanished into the ether. His stuff is completely original, crazy. He sounded like a crazy person rambling to himself, or a hyperactive teenage kid stoned on thorazine. Except it was great, darkly funny and one of the most original things I’ve heard in a while. I don’t know anything about this guy except that his story is in Userlands<\/em> and he’s about 6 feet tall.<\/p>\n

Marc Andreottola<\/strong>: read an excerpt from his novel in progress. His writing was full of incredibly bizarre imagery, and he got a really warm reaction from the audience.<\/p>\n

Justin Taylor<\/strong>: read a wry story about anarchists and is also the editor of an upcoming anthology on Thunder’s Mouth Press<\/a> which features stories by Tao Lin<\/strong> and HP Lovecraft.<\/p>\n

Jeff Jackson<\/strong>: read from his Userlands<\/em> story “3 Untitled Stories About Smoking”. Jeff is also the curator of an amazing Free Jazz website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tony O’Neill<\/strong>: I introduced the readers, and read a statement from Dennis Cooper who regretted the fact he couldn’t be there. My job was easy: I got to hear some great up and coming authors and basically get drunk and hang out a little. It was a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
