Tramp at The Outlet

Electric Literature has started a blog called "The Outlet", and they've been running some good stuff from interesting writers like Daniel Grandbois, Shya Scanlon, Catherine Bohne, and Jim Shepard.

And they're also featuring a text of mine called "Tramp", which is derived from Epitaph for a Tramp, a hardboiled detective novel that David Markson published back in 1959.

I've excised the sentence from Epitaph for a Tramp that read most like the latter day Markson of Readers Block, Vanishing Point, This is Not a Novel, and The Last Novel. What I see is the beginnings of Markson's major themes: art, literature, music, philosophy, pop culture, sex, and death.
