Learning to Love the Slut (UPDATED)

Bookslut points to the new George Saunders story in The New Yorker but seems not to realize that The Watley Review is a satirical publication. Tiebreaker: the second event of the Bookslut Reading Series right here in Chicago (the first was last night, and I missed it) features Maureen McHugh, Jennifer Stevenson, and Charles Blackstone. August 23rd, 7:30 PM at Hopleaf.

UPDATE: Jessa Crispin has updated her post on the Mary Sue article to reflect the fact that she realized it was a joke. The lesson, of course, is: Never assume that your readers will give you the benefit of the doubt.
