Buy The Awl Book

by The Editors

We knew this book was going to be good but wow. The effort to compile a bound, physical anthology of writing from The Awl turned out to be a spectacular trip through the wonderland of that old internet that we used to complain about so pleasantly all day. Hydra Carrie Frye, The Awl's former managing editor, rounded up all these geniuses, who’ve gone on to so many different scenes and cities and places, and she has created a magical book, a history, a literary mash note, a treasure.

You gotta get a copy. And the way to get your very own hardcover copy is to visit the ongoing Phase Two Flaming Hydra fundraiser, and make a $45 pledge under the The Awl: The Book in the Rewards sidebar. You can make pledges for other reward items too, and even “add-on” the book to an existing pledge.

Here’s a small preview of what you will find within!!

Choire Sicha was wondering about having all kinds of things for lunch, one fine day in 2010. We only just got finished reading his Dinner Party newsletter from today, and it is just blessedly the same. Some things are still good in this world!

No really, just look.
