"Ninth Letter is a publication that rejects the notion that literature is an isolated mode of expression," says the manifesto of the new publication at the University of Illinois. Sounds great to us at WILLblog. We love expression, and reject isolation on principle. You couldn't do much better with an inaugural issue than getting contributions by Yann Martel, Dave Eggers, Robert Olen Butler, Carol Frost, Marjorie Sandor... now I gotta subscribe to this thing. So it's thumbs up from WILLblog for Ninth Letter, along with a quick pointer to the audio archive of today's Afternoon Magazine interview with three of its editors.
