CAAF: Morning coffee

• At MetaxuCafé, a cadre of great contributors are providing ongoing coverage of the PEN World Voices Festival, which continues through Sunday.

• A short film inspired by Leonora Carrington's "The Debutante." In a very modern piece of addenda, there's a note from one of Carrington's grandsons in the comments. Like the Mansfield and Keogh stories I linked to Tuesday, "The Debutante" is another very, very short story about what it's like to be a young girl, though it's the only one of the three to feature a hyena. I smell a bit strong, eh?

If you're not familiar with Carrington, you can start with this profile; and I wrote a little about her amazing novel, The Hearing Trumpet here.

• His novel is still two weeks from publication, and my James Frey fatigue has already set in.
