"Sucker Fuckers" by Benjamin Parris. The tragic story of young and
impoverished street smartasses. Go directly to

Please, when downloading, don't undercut the download counter. It's
getting to be a pain in the ass. The feature's not going away. I want
to be transparent in our growth. I think it's ridiculously awesome
that we've gone from just under 200 readers in our first issue to an
average of like 400.
Also new at .com is the almighty slingshot litareview, edited by the
rad Josh Kleinberg. Check out
http://litareview.com/slingshot for more
information. A little treat to keep your rss feed busy between issues
and lulls (like the upcoming silence for the month of December, to
remind you again).
Have you heard the new Pearl Jam record? It's pretty good. First
person to ask (who also has iTunes) will get it gifted to them by
dispatch litareview. It'd be nice if you blogged about this
afterwards, but there are no rules. First person to ask is the first
person who gets Pearl Jam's "Backspacer" via an iTunes gift. Christy,
you are disqualified from this contest, but if you want it, you know
you just have to ask.
Well, one more issue for this year. The selection has been made for
dispatch sixteen and I'm satisfied with it. Keep submitting, though,
if you're doing that.
Don't believe a word, friends, this is a strange time to be alive. We
can't let the undertow drag our heads under. Something has to give.
Something will. Let's just weather this all the best we can.
Yours,
P. H. Madore
