We have railed against Kanye's proud pronouncement upon the publication of his 52 page book: Thank You and You're Welcome, that "I am not a...

Umerto Eco Curates An Art Exhibit

The Best Science Fiction of the Decade

This is the fifth time I’ve picked my favorite books of the preceding decade, and I cannot help but wonder how many more chances I will have to do so in the future? Twice more? Three times perhaps? Scary thoughts. Before I begin, here is a brief review of my selections from past decades: The 1960s: Best Novel : Lord of Light / Roger Zelazny Best Short Fiction : The Star Pit / Samuel R. Delany...

A New Literary Culture

N.B.: This is a far more thoughtful response to Feodor's complaint about my remarks concerning Marcel Proust. If this doesn't satisfy him, well, I'll buy him a subscription to Dissent. One point George Scialabba made last evening with which I profoundly disagree (for obvious reasons) is the effect of the internet on literacy . I find this odd, in particular, since so much of what happens on the internet...

BTT: Posterity

Thursday got away from me this week… but I couldn’t help but share today’s BTT ! One of my favorite topics… Today’s question was suggested by Barbara: Do you think any current author is of the same caliber as Dickens, Austen, Bronte, or any of the classic authors?

McKee reviewed

Jason Zinoman on Robert Mckee | vanityfair.com Jason Zinoman, who has a particular interest in horror films, reports on his attendance at a screenwriters seminar held by the famous screenwriting teacher Robert McKee. McKee comes across as a bit of a jerk who wings it on browbeating self-confidence. Here's Jason's summary of how to replicate McKee's technique: Rule One: Drop names shamelessly. McKee...

David Vann on Blood Meridian

Ah synchronicity, don't you love it? I've just finished David Vann's Legend of a Suicide and am in the process of doing a review of it, and here he is in today's Guardian writing about Blood Meridian . When he first read Blood Meridian , he was actually in the process of writing the main section of Legend of a Suicide . That does figure, as landscape, an essential element of McCarthy, is similarly...

Quick Hit: Literary Racialicious

If you're not reading it already, there's a fascinating discussion going on over at Racialicious about African American literature and what may be, or may not be, disproportionate attention and acclaim for narratives that highlight horrible abuse and disfunction, as if that is the one "real" story. Discussed: Push, "Precious," and Percival Everett... for starters. Also, street lit,...

On women and best of lists

Every few years this crops up and, being a feminist, I largely agree with the criticism leveled against the system, but the opinions become so vehement and emotional from both sides that I’m starting to think we may need to hire some sociologists to do an empirical study of the entire process to see what’s [...]
