the napkin project
January 30th, 2007 | Published in books, publishing, reading, writing | 2 Comments
Have you heard about Esquire’s Napkin Project?
We put 250 napkins in the mail to writers from all over the country — some with a half dozen books to their name, others just finishing their first. In return, we got nearly a hundred stories. We present a sampling here — from lush to spare, hilarious to terrifying.

I am good friends with N.D. Wilson, who wrote one featured in this past issue! Check it out, it’s nifty-keen.
There have been some pretty stupid ones, like that “Shopping List for a School Shooting” one. Ooh, how provocative! Not!
Anyway, it’s a fun project.

Thanks for your comment, Austin. I’ve been so busy, but I’m looking forward to checking out that Wilson piece!
