Tayari's Blog: Lunch Hour Links

Some interesting stuff out there today.


  • I really really want to see the new muscial, Fela. Maybe I can sneak away to check out a matinee?
  • My girl, Vickie, is obsessed with the movie version of Sapphire's 1996 novel, PUSH. If anybody has seen a trailer, or knows anything about the production schedule, please let me know.
  • David Carr's memoir, The Night of The Gun, is summarized by Jezebel as "serious addiction, poverty, rehab and eventual redemption as the full custodial parent of his twin girls, decent husband, New York Times columnist, etc., etc." The problem is that he left out many of his bad deeds because they make him unsympathetic. Is that okay?
  • Ever wonder where ghost writers come from?
  • Should authors suffer in silence when thier pulishers do them wrong? Remember Jervey Tervalon's famous article, Literary Sharecropper? Somebody needs to follow up on that situation.
  • Is it fair to the bookstore if you return a book just because you didn't like it?

    That Fela musical sounds like it could be a great show to see. I love all his music. This would be a dream! I see a DC - NY roadtrip in my future...
