Not a DAN BROWN book.

  • Want to sell a book? Put Dan Brown's name on it in big letters. Even if it isn't written by Dan Brown.
  • What not to do when submitting: my agent has posted a really good list of dos and don'ts.
  • There is a new movie coming out about Assata Shakur. The trailer seems a little low-budget, but it seems like an interesting project.
  • When PBS gets sexy. This clip is funny. It would be funnier if it were a little bit more diverse. Black nerds exisit. And we are available for parody!
  • Obama stands up for Henry Louis Gates. Video.
  • The officer involved speaks.
  • The new Indiana Review is out. Abdel approves of my selection for the award winning story. **LINK REPAIRED.
  • Elizabeth Gilbert's ex-husband gets to tell his side of the Eat, Pray, Love divorce. Does this count as keeping it real? Apparently his search for meaning sent him to developing countries. (Who are these people? How do they get to do the travelling break-up?)
  • Betrayal! Corruption! Embezzlement! This is not a link about New Jersey politics, but the sad end of a prominent Atlanta book club.
  • Langston Hughes house sold in foreclosure.
  • The Paris Review publishes two new poems by Craig Arnold. (We miss you!)

    You did pick an awesome story. Thanks for the shout, but I think it's a bad link.
