Spectator - The Magazine (Free subscription) | 27/11/2009
These long anticipated literary mysteries never end in anything very significant — one thinks of Harold Brodkey’s The Runaway Soul, falling totally flat after decades of sycophantic pre-publicity, or Truman Capote’s Answered Prayers, emerging in fragments in 1975, after 17 years of non-work, to scandal but no acclaim. (I wouldn’t get your hopes up for the quality of anything...

A dude is suing Blizzard Entertainment, makers of World of Warcraft, for making him "alienated". He's subpoenaed Martin L Gore, of Depeche Mode, as an expert on alienation and depression. I feel kind of insulted that someone like this shares a love for the band (or so I assume). Intentional Falicy, anyone? He also obviously doesn't know that love songs are not always unrequited, and hasn't...

Erik Estavillo is a name I'm sure will be responsible for much future amusement. Originally gaining notoriety for suing Sony after being banned from PSN due to improper conduct, he set his sights next on Nintento and Microsoft -- in the former case, he bricked his Wii while modding it to pirate games illegally (no, seriously) , and in the latter his Xbox 360 suffered from the common "red ring...

From a site dedicated to the works of J.D. Salinger... Aside from his Nine Stories, JD Salinger published twenty-two stories in various magazines which remain uncollected. Several attempts have been made to compile these stories together but have met stiff resistance by the author. Spanning his literary career between the years 1940-1965, these stories display changes in both the author's style and...

JD Salinger captured the public imagination with The Catcher in the Rye in 1951. Later, he published Nine Stories in 1953, Franny and Zooey in 1961, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour in 1963, and a short story for the New Yorker in 1965, among other things. And then nothing. He stopped publishing and went [...]
