Even Better than the Time The Vending Machine Gave Me Two Mars Bars for the Price of One

Holy fuck. The Guardian has really done it. Look here for new short stories and/or novel extracts from like 30 top authors. I can't believe this is all free online.

Colm Toibin
William Boyd
Jeanette Winterson
Yann Martel
Dave E_____
Michael Faber
Haruki Murakami

Or £1.20 for your own, love-it-forever, paper copy in the UK.

Thankfully the Guardian has resisted the premium content lure that others have succumbed to and continues to be true to its ethical roots. We, in the UK, often make fun of its earnestness but you're right to highlight its generosity of spirit and purpose.

It made my weekend.

I also love Toibin's work but wasn't that impressed with that piece. Looking forward to poking through the rest of the collection though.
