  • Carleen wants to know what you think about prologues. (And you get a sneak peek of her new novel!)
  • Would critics of urban lit simmer down if they knew that the French do it too?
  • Acephalous points out ten or so ways that you can show yourself to be an unpleasant person depending on how you react to the death of David Foster Wallace.
  • Harper's Magazine has made available all the articles that DFW wrote for them.
  • This is from Ed. Tod Goldberg posts a recent interview, but not before giving the behind-the-scenes weirdness.
  • Bitch magazine, which I really dig, is going under.
  • The NYT can't name any funny novels by women. Jezebel lists a few. But none of them are by women of color. Can you think of any sister-sidesplitters?
  • Have you ever heard the voice of William Faulkner? Me either. But that's why we love Maud for always having the best links.
  • Okay. I am totally exhausted. G'night everyone. Don't forget Patricia Smith and Dennis Nurkse's party at Housing Works 9/17.
  • I found the cute cat pic when I put the word "sleepy" into flickr. That kitty is me in about ten minutes.

    She's a nonfiction writer but Angela Nissel is very funny.

    Thanks for the shout out. One sister sidesplitter that comes to mind is Ugly Ways by Tina McElroy Ansa. I'm reading the sequel now and her characters can make me LOL. Terry Mac also gets in a few good chuckles in all her books.
