Some Small, Good Things 2013
Each year a group of us collaborates on a tribute event for World Book Night. World Book Night fell on Tuesday 23rd April 2013,
just two days after our Bristol Artist's Book Event (BABE) at Arnolfini so we all planned on keeping it simple.

Our tribute this year was to Raymond Carver's collection of stories Cathedral (1983), some of which were used as the basis for
Robert Altman's film Short Cuts (1993). In particular we chose the story A Small, Good Thing as the starting point for this year's
collaboration. An open call this website invited people to do a small, good thing, write it out and send it to us.

All contributions were received by midnight on 22nd April. On World Book Night we made a low-fi, video in a very homemade style of the
original film clip for Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues, using those small, good things, and a free download self-assembly zine.
