get the skinny

Rene Wilson wrote a nice piece on THE YEAR OF FOG for Skinny Mag’s “Read This” feature:

Using her photographer’s eye for detail, Abby combs her way through San Francisco’s distinctive neighborhoods in search for Emma. Happier times are recounted while she scours popular settings from Ocean Beach to the Mission District, likely to evoke compassionate personal memories from any Bay Area native or transplant.

Also recommended in this issue:
The Virgin’s Guide to Mexico, just out from Eric Martin. I haven’t read this yet but am very excited about it. Eric and his wife have a new baby, and I have no idea how Eric has time to brush his teeth, much less write, but he seems to be managing beautifully.
and Vendela Vida’s Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name.
Plus, a short story by Charlie Anders.
