- This picture makes me love Astrid Lindgren Award for Literature winner Katherine Paterson. (Via TEV.)
- Jeff Ford‘s new collection The Empire of Ice Cream has apparently started shipping and Jonathan Strahan lists the TOC (I’ve read most of these stories and they’re all fabulous — this and Alan DeNiro‘s Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the Dead are THE must-have collections of the year, word).
- Jeff rightly questions why the DVD release of Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus is getting so little attention. Jim White = sure to be interesting. Doubters can go back in time and read Dana’s review from when it was first born.
- Another Christopher Rowe or is someone moonlighting?
