I'm home! I have to go buy some milk, coffee, etc. But meanwhile, here's some reading material.

  • Cave Canem didn't award their first book prize this year. There's no explanation given. Does this mean that judge,Clarence Major, couldn't find a worthy manuscript?? If anyone knows anything, email me!(Mr. Major, btw, is the stern looking gentleman on the right.)
  • Joanne found an excerpt of the new Toni Morrison novel, A Mercy.
  • Galleycat points out that none of Simon and Schuster's authors are complaining that their publisher is taking part in the anti-Obama smear campaign.
  • Over at Huffington Post, they think that the pro-Obama book is being mired by in-fighting.
  • Laila Lalami laments that she didn't see Darwish read while she had the chance.
  • When a glimpse over the shoulder is a glimpse into the soul.
  • Chris Adrian's new novel, A Better Angel, features child characters and Lizzie isn't buying it. A little dramafest has broken out as a result.
  • Reggie H. weighs in on A Hope in the Unseen, the Maryland One-Book Selection.
