Vibrant Margins, a new subscription service for readers interested in novels from independent presses, has just announced its inaugural season, Spring 2017. Our own Mr. Boardwalk is the June selection, of which we're very proud, but the list has an even more interesting characteristic. Of the six monthly choices, for January through June, three are from Philadelphia publishers. And we're not stretching the geography either: all are located near the city center, less than three miles from one another.
So, this year, Philly has given us great independently published fiction. New York, the supposed literary center of the country if not the universe, has given us two presidential candidates.
The question, then: Which city had the better year? Which would you personally rather have, the fiction or the reality?
Just sayin'. No disrespect, NYC.
