The CCLaP Journal is the monthly magazine of the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography (cclapcenter.com), gathering up the material that ran at our blog the month previous. Issue #1 features our extended "Year in Books 2012" report, an interview with George Saunders, original fiction from Ben Tanzer, a field report from the Harmontown podcast stop in Chicago, photo features by Francesca Marie, Katherine Hodges, and Paul Lask & Anna Bolm, plus a dozen book reviews and more.
