  • Monica Brown, children's book author, and friend of this blog is interviewed at la bloga.
  • The National Book Award people have chosen 5 Writers Under 35. Does it mean I am getting old and difficult because I really hate this sort of thing.
  • Over in Pajamaville, folks are talking about Kim Reid's memoir, No Place Safe, which is about growing up in Atlanta during the Child Murders.

    How 'bout a "Best New Writers Under 50", (since I'll be 45 next month:)

    Persistence, I vote for "best new writers under 70," since I turned 50 this month. Give ourselves a nice wide margin to strive for.

    Tayari, I appreciate you blogging about this now and earlier. So far all I've done is think to myself, "Hah, just you wait."

    I hate the whole best-writers-under-this-age-thing too. Ugh. What's with our society and all of these damn "lists"?
