Tayari's Blog: Labor Day Links!

In light of history being made all over the place, he blogosphere is pretty slow in terms of literary stuff today. This is all I could come up with.

  • The Book Blog award nominations are open. There is even a category for best author blog. (wink)
  • Crab Orchard Review is seeking submissions for their new issue focusing on heritages. (note the plural.)
  • Zelda Lockhart is hosting a masterclass in Hillsboro, North Carolina. The all-day workshop is only $90 and includes lunch!
  • Everybody loves Judy Blume. Watch her on the Today show. She is so cool.
  • Has it been a decade? I feel so old! But on a sort of serious note, I don't know if it's fair to look at Lauryn Hill's lyrics as though they were autobiography.
  • Here are ten novels about writers. How they forgot Erasure, I have no idea. Well, I do have an idea, but I will keep it to myself.
  • Just because books are out of print, doesn't mean that people don't want to read them. This is oddly encuraging.
  • Photo source.

    Did you know that Marita Golden appeared (briefly) in the movie version of The Wonder Boys???

    Happy unofficial end of the summer!

    Yes, perhaps it's best not to think about how/why _Erasure_ wasn't mentioned.

    Erasure was a great discovery for me. I found it on the list that accompanied Martha Southgate's NYT article "Writers Like Me":
