Mike Nagel used to write a column for this magazine, and I miss it like crazy. Luckily, he’s got a new book to scratch the itch. Culdesac, the sequel to Nagel’s beloved Duplex, is out now from Autofocus.

Stay tuned for an announcement on the unlucky columnist who will attempt to fill Mike’s shoes, and maybe I’ll see you at AWP.
Sending new year love,
