Weekly Reader

• The New York Review Of Books reviews the newest collection of Susan Sontag’s work.

• Matthew Kirschenbaum’s new book is now available for preorders at Amazon.

• I visit their site often, but until Bookslut mentioned it I didn’t realize Bookforum had a blog on their site.

Weekly Reader

Hey, how about some weekend reading!

• Joyce Carol Oates reviews the recent reissue of The Handmaid’s Tale over at The New York Review Of Books.  There is also some lovely discussions of Margaret Atwood’s other books including Surfacing.

• Edwidge Danticat has a new story in a recent issue of The New Yorker.

• Via The Little Professor, Ohio State has digitized some of their out of print books.  I am interested in the texts about Shakespeare and Mildred Newcomb’s The Imagined World Of Charles Dickens because I am reading Oliver Twist this weekend for a class.
