It’s not Bulwer-Lytton, but, then, what is?

“The Detonators” is a well-researched and deftly-told account of a time in US history that many people probably don’t know very well.

Three new short stories that will make you grateful for the blogosphere.

This post makes me want to read this book. Have any of you read it? Technorati tag: Jose Saramago

“The Second Coming of Mavala Shikongo” is Peter Orner’s first novel. It’s set in an exotic location but tells a universal story. And it’s got an unusual format that will make bloggers feel right at home.

In which much is made about little…but, really, isn’t that the whole purpose of grammar?

“The Hummingbird’s Daughter” is a beautifully-written account of the nation-changing life of a rather unusual peasant girl.

Emily Yoffe’s “What the Dog Did” is a hysterically funny look at one woman’s journey into a peculiar madness: that of owning a beagle.

Bad writing done right.

“Potter Springs” comes perilously close to being chick lit, but in the end provides much that’s worth thinking about…even (especially?) for guys.
