The Howling Fantods

I'm extending the comp for 7 days, the closing date is now Sunday 22nd June in your part of the world (I'm happy to be a little flexible with the deadline). Don't forget, you can enter more than once.

 

This will be the only extension. It is in part due to a number of enquiries about the due date that I am only now just replying to, and also because the poster creation link in the previous news item, and on the comp page , is currently down. I don't want people to have to be image editing whizzes to enter!

 

Full competition details here. The prize is a copy of McCain's Promise .

 

Below are a few of the entries I've received so far, can you do better?

 

 

 

 

 

Lost is the only TV series I've become anywhere near as obsessive about since Twin Peaks first screened. I have to admit that I gave up watching Lost on TV here in Australia after the first episode of series 1 was running a couple of months behind the US; I resorted to other means. I've really enjoyed season 4 and the finale the other night was great fun.

 

I don't usually post about the myriad of random DFW mentions on the web, but this one (spoiler warning if you haven't yet seen the finale) over at the Riff blog caught my eye, particularly this:

 

"Of course, Jest's whole point was that neat wrapups don't exist, dude, but that didn't prevent me from throwing the book across the room as I came to the final sentence."

 

I wonder if he opened the book up and started again? It would be a shame if he didn't.

The Wall Street Journal has just published a short interview with DFW about McCain's Promise. Read the WSJ interview here.

Slate.com has an article up that is based on Jacob Weisberg's introduction to McCain's Promise. Read it here.

 

Following the Slate publication Weisberg particpated in an online discussion about the article, WashingtonPost.com has a transcript of it here.
