Here is the last few weekend’s worth of weekend reading…
The Guardian offers a few excerpts from Susan Faludi’s The Terror Dream: Fear & Fantasy In Post 9-11 America. A lot of what is discussed in these excerpts were the sort of thing that freaked me out “post 9-11″ and prompted me to start writing notes for what would become War Prayers later.
The Nation recently reprinted one of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut pieces, The Worst Addiction Of Them All.
Two from The Quarterly Conversation: reviews of Junot Diaz and Vasily Grossman.
The Little Professor offers a lengthy, and very thoughtful, review of Marc Bousquet’s How The University Works.
Our weekly two from The Quarterly Conversation: reviews of Mari Akasaka and Jose Maria Eça de Queirós.
Mother Jones interviews Marjane Satrapi.
Three from The Quarterly Conversation: Natsume Soseki, Ron Currie Jr., and Selah Saterstrom.
