B. A. F. C.
Long before Brian Phillips did me the great honor of allowing me to post a thought or two on his site, I expressed my great admiration for his marvelously evocative (and often really, really funny) writing on his blog about soccer, The Run of Play.
In a turn of events that's pretty close to being too-good-to-be-true, Brian is giving us a serial novel on the site, B. A. F. C. — which, you'll be pleased to know, stands for Brooklyn Asylum Football Club. Start with the Prologue, and if you want to see a list of all posts (including some preparatory material), go here.
This is going to be great. (And check out Brian's beautiful design for the site while you're at it.)

About
Commentary on technologies of reading, writing, research, and, generally, knowledge. As these technologies change and develop, what do we lose, what do we gain, what is (fundamentally or trivially) altered? And, not least, what's fun?
