“We’re happy we did, and I think one of the key elements that contributed to [the high debut], obviously, is building a fanbase. That’s what we’ve been doing all these years as we’ve steadily grown as a band.

JC: Melville House also publishes works in translation, and in the weeks that MobyLives has been back online, you’ve devoted a lot of attention to book news coming from Europe. Was the Nobel’s Horace Engdahl right — are Americans too provincial in our literary tastes?Dennis Loy Johnson: I don’t know that he was right about the culture at large, although he was certainly right about the fare coming out of the conglomerate houses. But it’s no secret, it’s sheer numbers: As the big houses are run more and more to the bottom line, they’re going to publish less and less in translation, because somewhat logically there’s always going to be a bigger audience for home-grown work. But I don’t think there’s any crisis going on, and there?s as much interest in books from other cultures as there ever was. It?s just not enough to support big, mainstream publishing as it’s financed now. But this is good news for independent publishers like Melville House, because it just means that we’ve got more to choose from and champion. And when we discover new writers from anywhere, including here, they take on a certain sheen from the company they keep on our list — I like to think Tao Lin, the wild young avant-gardist who is our biggest-selling fiction writer, gains a certain je ne sais quois from being published alongside the likes of Dowlatabadi and Nobel-winner Imre Kertesz.

music throughout the home. ALPS DEVELOPS SINGLE-CHIP MODULE FOR HUMAN AREA NETWORKING
TOKYO – Alps Electric Co. (TSE:6770) has
developed a single-chip solution for human area networking,
which uses the surface of the body as the conduit to transfer
data by touch between the unit on the person and some external
device, such as a keyless car door or the payment terminal at a
grocery store. The units for human area networking are typically made from
discrete components mounted on a board. But Alps has integrated
all the functions into a single chip which combines the CPU
with the sensor and signal circuitry in a module that takes up
just one-eighth as much room.
