  • The blogosphere has been pretty quiet this week. Most of the literary bloggers are at BEA and the Champ has some roundup links.
  • Here is an overview of the African-American programming at BEA.
  • I heard through the grapevine that Terry MacMillian read from her new book yesterday, and it was really good.
  • F.R.L. has advice for job seekers. She disagrees with Cliff Landis on some pretty significant points and I agree with her.
  • The Lammies have been announced.
  • NPR has announced its summer reading list. Has anyone over there heard of diversity?
  • The NYer review of Sex in the City is pretty smart. The last line may be a little too cutesy/meany, but all in all, an interesting piece.
  • This photo piece on very young mothers was moving.
  • If you're into John Cheever, you'll dig this excerpt from his biography forthcoming from Knopf.
  • Of course your life story is interesting to you, but will be it interesting to others? The agents at DGLM tell what makes a memoir work.
  • Did you know that Harelquin Romances now has an African-American imprint? Tracy Montoya hosts an interview with Kelly Martin, Senior Editor of Kimani Romance.
  • That's it for now. I'll be back on Monday.

    Bah, I got in too late to hear Terry, but that's what I heard later that day: they said she knocked it outta the park!
