Every Friday, the PQ Weekly Roundup collects the most shared links in our social media network—bookish articles, reviews, quizzes, recommendations and more—in convenient digest form.

• This is quite possibly the most polite conversation ever to come from a mildly snarky tweet. But it’s also a very clever, thought-provoking debate poetry criticism. A strong start from the new arts and culture review, Partisan.
• You know writing advice is good when it exhorts you to be a sadist. Kurt Vonnegut weighs in on how to write a good short story.
• It’s particularly trendy right now to hate on M.F.A. programs. You know what’s even more trendy? Writing an article about the trend of hating on M.F.A. programs.
• Poetry month has seen the release of a ton of great new collections. We think that Shane Neilson’s On Shaving Off His Face is one of them, so we’re offering up a preview…
• Infinite Anxiety in the Rye … The Naked and the Ha Ha Ha Goon Squad …
  I, Hunger (Book One) and its sequel, I, Nausea (Part Two) …
  This handy-dandy chart will help you name your big, important novel so that you’ll be on your way to fame and glory posthaste.
• If you’re like me, dog-eared corners are a punishable offense. Save a book—use a bookmark!

Big week this week! With digital editions for On Shaving Off His Face and the latest issue of the Devil’s Artisan appearing in online stores (and hopefully on your devices!) not to mention the Fabulous Fictions project making its way around the web, we’ve got a ton to talk about. Check back next Friday for more curated links for the discerning bibliophile.

Happy Friday!
