Chris Howard reveals the inspiration for his new book, “Tea of Ulaanbaatar”
March 24, 2011
For Christopher Howard, perhaps life’s kindest gesture came from a Third World parasite. A debilitating, intestine-twisting infection forced the Peace Corps volunteer to flee Mongolia for recovery back in the States. That change of plans set off an unmapped string of circumstances - jobs, classes, military - that Howard intertwined with steady fiction-writing. After 14 years of scratching by, the native Peorian’s first novel will be published by a New York printing house. “Tea of Ulaanbaatar,” a trippy criticism of war with his Mongolian experiences as a background, comes out in May.

Interview with Mischa Merz: balancing life as a boxer and writer
March 2, 2011
Not long after I started actually sparring as opposed to just doing boxacise, I had an idea. And as with most ideas I get I started saying it out loud. ‘What if I had a fight and wrote about it?’ and people started saying ‘Yeah, great idea’. Pretty quickly I got an agent and a publisher and before I knew it I had signed a contract to write about having a fight. I had to fight. To back out would be just impossible. It was my first book and I’d managed to get the attention of Picador Australia so I couldn’t possibly waste the opportunity. And as it happened, I kind of liked the fighting and the writing about it and weirdly, it has become my thing.

Press Action talks with Derrick Jensen
January 26, 2011
That reusable shopping bag you bring to the market has zero impact. Your home composting kit is not gonna start a revolution. In fact, even if every single person in the US made every single change suggested in the movie An Inconvenient Truth, carbon emissions would fall by only 21%—in contrast to the 75% emissions decrease that scientific consensus believes must happen … now. None of this, of course, is news to Derrick Jensen.
