  1. Annoyingly talented

    <em>You know what's annoying? </em>
    You know what's annoying? Experimental short stories. You know what else is annoying? Adam Levin. He is 35 and grew up on the North Shore. He is talented and can't do anything half- way, which makes him frustratingly, endearingly bold, the twin...

  2. This Thursday. Black Rock. 'The Great Dysmorphia' Launch

    <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/396738997052043/">This Thursday at 8 p.m. there will be a launch party</a> for a new thingamajob I wrote titled the &ldquo;The Great Dysmorphia: An Epistemological View of Ingesting Hallucinogenic Mushrooms at a 2012 Republican Presidential Debate&rdquo;. Honestly, if the title alone doesn&rsquo;t pique your interest, I&rsquo;ll go ahead and consider myself a pretty shitty writer.

  3. A tweenager toys with new identity

    A funny thing happens when a retired journalist brings his 20-plus years of word craft to fiction writing &mdash; namely, the birth of a 12-year-old boy named Max, whose angles are shaped by David Foster Wallace, Norman Mailer and the author himself, Arthur Salm.

  4. Defending Bryan Garner

    The Baltimore Sun
    Weary as you must be by now of the hopefully hullabaloo, a post at Language Log by Mark Liberman, "The H-word,"  gives rise to some further observations. Professor Liberman demonstrates a salient fact about the disparagement of hopefully  as a sentence...

  5. Daum: 2012's pop song for grads

    Every year around this time, a few notable lines from a few notable commencement speeches start insinuating themselves into the canon of "words to live by." Recent favorites include Steve Jobs' 2005 speech at Stanford ("Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life"). Then there was Stephen Colbert's 2006 address at Knox College about "saying yes." Also in 2005 was David Foster Wallace's now-enshrined speech at Kenyon College, which discussed freedom, among other things, and which I won't even try to sum up in a single quote.

  7. Pulitzer Prizes : No fiction winner

    The 2012 Pulitzer Prizes award today had a big gap -- there was no winner in the fiction category, which must have ticked off a whole lot of marketing execs. What will they do with all the "Winner of the Pulitzer Prize" stickers they had printed up for...

  9. Clarice Lispector: Four novels form a picture of Brazil novelist

    For a handful of people, Clarice Lispector's "A Breath of Life" being published in English for the first time is very good news. Sadly, that handful is fairly small. Lispector, an extraordinarily gifted writer who revolutionized Brazilian letters, was...

  12. Championing a best-seller

    Great books &mdash; not the ones rushed off the factory floor but the finely crafted, original works of imagination &mdash; can find an audience, if it finds a champion. In the case of "The Art of Fielding," that champion was a young literary agent, Chris Parris-Lamb, whose enthusiasm for the book fueled its success.
