The Quarterly Conversation Redesign

We have redesigned the site for The Quarterly Conversation.

This is a complete redesign from top to bottom, and we’ve finally been able to implement a lot of things I’d long been wanting to do with the site. Before I go any further, I must stop to say that this redesign would not have been possible, even remotely, without the fantastic work of Jeff Barry and Cecilia Sorochin. These are two people who know and love books, and if you need work done on your site, go talk to them immediately. They are professional, very smart, and have a great eye for web design. You will not be disappointed.

So a few things about the redesigned Quarterly Conversation. The site has an RSS feed, and I want to encourage everyone who reads the site to sign up. Why sign up for our feed when you can just drop by every three months?

Well, TQC is remaining a quarterly, but we are also going to be publishing bonus reviews and interviews in between issues. More on this in a second. On top of the bonus material, we also are going to be publishing news updates about the journal and the site. So the easiest way to stay on top of all that is to just put our feed in your reader.

Speaking of bonus material, head on over to the site right now to see a couple of reviews we just published. We have a review of Remainder-author Tom McCarthy’s new book, Tintin and the Secret of Literature. We also have a review of a book by one of my favorite authors, Jean-Philippe Toussaint: Monsieur, recently re-released by the Dalkey Archive.

In early August we are going to be publishing an interview with an author whose work I think is great–he’s an innovative, fun author who has been doing some interesting experimental work, and if you read this site regularly you already know his name. So keep an eye out for that, it should be coming soon.

And one more piece of news. For the Winter issue we are doing a special section themed around work and reading/writing. For full details, see our news release on the site.
