Reviewed by Kai Parker. Having read a good amount of science fiction, China Miéville is one of those authors who I’ve always been tangentially aware of, his books always at the fringes of my awareness, never quite seeming to capture my attention at the right time, but the interesting covers always beckoning every time I … Continue reading
by Isabel Quintero-Flores. Back in 2003 (or was it 2002?), while I was still a young, bright-eyed undergraduate, I took a Chicano poetry class at California State University, San Bernardino. This is the thing with poetry: as children we are taught to love poetry, to enjoy the rhymes, the sounds, the rhythms, and story that … Continue reading

The media cycle seems compelled to bring it up every time we see another tragedy like Sandy Hook, where it was revealed the killer liked, among other things, to play video games. For many, video games … Continue reading
Review by Kai Parker. Imagine if Star Wars had been about all the weird aliens in the famous cantina scene instead of the boring humans. That could well be the premise of Saga, the new comic book series from Brian K. Vaughn (Y: The Last Man) and Fiona Staples (North 40). Easily one of the … Continue reading
Review by Kai Parker. At one point in my early twenties I decided I had no patience for college (these were not amongst my most self-enlightened years), and thus opted instead to work a number of office temp jobs, floating about until I figured out where I was going and what I wanted to do. … Continue reading
Interview by Isabel Quintero-Flores On a chilly December afternoon I sat down for a conversation with memoirist James Brown in his dim lit office on the California State University, San Bernardino campus. Brown is the author of the award-winning The Los Angeles Diaries, and the more recent This River; both memoirs are about addiction, life, … Continue reading
Review by Kai Parker. “The truth is malleable,” a character says at one point in Gone Girl, the amazing third novel from Gillian Flynn (Dark Places, Sharp Objects).
