how to win the lottery s18e1 – short dark oracles by sara levine

our sara levine module kicks off with her short story collection, short dark oracles. after comparing ourselves to other media with animals making noise in the background, we talk about our favorite stories from the collection, the value in a successful short story (as well as how the arc of a short story has changed over the years), and our favorite lines (mostly: the ones that made us laugh out loud). shreds talks about a shirt that makes him sick. we talk about a dog with a chapbook, a kinship between sara levine and lisa hanawalt, and how we wish we had even more writing of levine’s to look forward to. (this prompts shreds to talk about tao lin’s “10 more novels” idea.) a youtube comment inspires us to discuss books and movies we immediately started again after finishing. we heap more praise on matt johnson and nirvanna the band the show the movie.
