Jenifer Simon is co-creator and co-editor of Art Obituaries, the first anthology to document the untimely and planned deaths of visual works of art by the artists who created them. According to Jenifer, art deaths, which often go unrecorded, are an important part of an artist’s body of work. Artists can tell their stories through an online submission process at www.artobituaries.org.

David Yoo’s debut novel for young adults came out in May (see Books in this issue, plus www.daveyoo.com for details). Reviewer Tom Perotta noted, “Girls for Breakfast performs the neat trick of taking the misery of adolescence and transforming it into fiction that is funny, engrossing, and perceptive. Yoo is a talented writer with lots to say about sex, ethnicity, and white-bread suburbia.” David, who received an MFA in creative writing from the University of Colorado, lives in Boston.
