I'm a big fan of Diagram, the online journal celebrating its tenth anniversary (in journal years, that's impressive!) with an anthology that takes the form of a deck of poker cards. Read here about how 10 of Diagrams has (as you might expect) the kinds of schematics which the journal is so known for as well as contributions from writers such as Jenny Boully (one of my faves), John D'Agata, Albert Goldbarth, Ben Marcus, Lia Purpura, Joshua Marie Wilkinson, Mark Yakich, Charles Wu, and Diagram editor Ander Monson.
Visit the website to see a few examples of playing cards, which are fully functional as, well, playing cards.
Enjoy!

Essay in the Wrong Season
Reading Jenny Boully's "A Short Essay on Christmas" in Diagram's all-essay issue, I was reminded that I want to buy her book, the one that I don't have. Often I tell myself that when I get some cash for spending on books, I will buy her book. And then I buy someone else's book because I have almost all of hers, and I don't have anything of someone else's, and I think, "Next time, I really am going to buy the last Jenny Boully book." That is what I am saying to myself now, having just read her essay.
