Brevity editor and founder Dinty W. Moore must be smoking the funny stuff again, at least based on his newest essay in the wonderful new journal The Normal School.
The essay, entitled “Mr. Plimpton’s Revenge: A Google Maps Essay, in Which George Plimpton Delivers My Belated and Well-Deserved Comeuppance,” can be found In The Normal School Vol. Two Issue Two, or here:

Dinty’s story made me grin; its structure made me think, “This is really innovative and cool.” Now I’m going to share it with others who, I’m sure, will concur.
Fantastic.
