Little Star seeks tenderly to usher bookish traditions into the electronic age.

In other news: April Bernard’s recent Little Star story “The Fixed Idea” will be an Electric Literature “Recommended Reading” selection in December; Jamaica Kincaid will read at a Little Star launch at McNally Jackson Books in February; we will shortly post a Little Star Bookstore, to refer our readers to new books connected to work featured in Little Star, shipped via independent booksellers. Works from Little Star have been excerpted in Harper’s (Padgett Powell), earned the Pushcart Prize (Lydia Davis), been linked to The Browser, The New Republic’s The Book, and Arts & Letters Daily. Little Star was featured among ten new literary magazines to watch by The New York Times’s T Magazine. It has been a staff pick of The Paris Review Daily and New York Review Books’s Typepad.
