The global economy is in recession. The stock market and gas prices are fluctuating wildly. Our apartments are freezing. It was just the biggest shopping day of the year. And every one is freaking out about money.
But over here at featherproof we never had any anyway, so we're advocating a 'worry-free' policy. All the w...orry you want, free of charge. We think there are better things, though, that are free, and we've collected a few together, as our gift to you, this holiday season. So, dip into the featherproof stocking of freedom:
First two new mini-books that are sure to amuse and delight, in that order. Marmal is the Sometimesby Tobias Amadon Bengelsdorf is a bizarre riff on fervor and ketchup. While My Imaginary Boyfriend by Ling Ma defines a new sort of wish list.
Pick them both up over at the site now.

If you've digested the free boring boring e-book you might want to dig deeper into the characters with Zach's Book Notes at Largehearted Boy. For the rest of the month, Zach will send you a mix tape of the Largehearted Boy boring boring songs, for free! You'll need to send a SASE, so email him for the address. (he's "z...ach@a_url_that_should_be_obvious.com") That's nice! And probably in violation of copyright laws!
We also have free entertainment for you. On December 12, check out Zach's new design series - a show all about the awesome design you've come to know and love at featherproof. Mike Renaud hosts along with Zach, and the lovely SpokesMom will commentate. It's the Show 'N Tell Show! Featuring Grow designer Alyson Beaton, among many other fine friendly design types. 7pm, The Whistler, 2421 N Milwaukee Ave. Then, on January 13, see Jonathan pull a fast one at Quickies! 7:30pm, Innertown, 1935 W Thomas. Both these events: Free as sunshine.
It's the season of giving. You're welcom

For those of you in our HQ, you can see Nat Rich read from The Mayor’s Tongue on Tuesday, April 22 at 7:30pm. He (and we) will be at the Lincoln Park Borders, 2817 N Clark St, affectionately known as The Borders Across from Landmark.
And if that’s not enough, we’re invading the art world next weekend. Come check out our... booth at the NEXT Art Fair in the Merchandise Mart, Friday April 25 through Monday April 28. We’ll be showcasing our new poster series, which contains the entire text of our next book, boring boring boring boring boring boring boring, which isn’t even out until August. It’s like time travel, but real this time.
Believe,

You’ve probably heard the news reports that a 5.2 earthquake rippled through Chicago at about 4:30 this morning. Bosh. Those weren’t tectonic tremors you slept through, they were the aftershocks of our new cosmically awesome mini-books’ crash landing. The first, “Keftir the Blind” by Nathaniel Rich, was excerpted from ...his excellent new novel, The Mayor’s Tongue, now out on Riverhead. Riding co-pilot on the mini-meteor is “My Brother” by Lindsay Hunter, an amazing short-short story that’s better than any of those long-long ones.
And speaking of the universe, a few light years away down in Alabama, Sons of the Rapture author Todd Dills and This Will Go Down on Your Permanent Record’s Susannah Felts will both be at the Montevallo Literary Festival, reading as part of the Hot New Birmingham Writing event on Saturday, April 19 at 2pm.
