Ig's acclaimed Bookmarked series is featured in the current issue of the Times Literary Supplement (Click to read). The article focuses on the first three books in the series; Kirby Gann on John Knowles' A Separate Peace, Curtis Smith on Slaughterhouse-Five, and Aaron Burch on Stephen King's The Body.

The Bookmarked series is comprised of short, personal books from writers exploring how a particular work of fiction helped shape their writing and life. “It’s a simple idea,” Kirby Gann, series editor, told Poets and Writers. “The series celebrates classic books on a personal, intimate level, as opposed to capital-C Criticism.”

Among the recent volumes in the series are Michael J. Seidlinger on Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves, David Ryan on Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano, and Jaime Clarke on The Great Gatsby. Steve Yarbrough's volume on The Last Picture Show was just released. Coming in December will be Charles Holdefer on George Saunders' Pastoralia, and in early 2018, Brian Evenson will chime in on Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.
