After just over a year of inactivity, Last Exit has been brought back to life this week. Nathan Chapman Lean, a blogger based in Morocco, sends us two dispatches from Rabat, where he finds the historic revolution sweeping across the Arab world isn’t exactly taking this North African kingdom by storm.

Read Part One here and Part Two here.

Meanwhile, John Peck gives us reflections on Gilbert Sorrentino, a master of metafiction. Peck had originally written this upon the posthumous publication of Sorrentino’s final novel, which was right about the time Last Exit went on hiatus. But this is a lovely piece and we always vowed to publish it somehow. So go read it here.

We plan to add more content in the coming weeks/months, but for now we have filled up the rest of the site with some choice selections from our archives. We’re still working off the cobwebs, still figuring out how often we will update and what direction we’ll carve out for the future. But we’re back for now and we hope you join us.

More soon…
