I would like to recommend a new literature and "other cool stuff" blog called: "The Clever Title: Book Reviews and Other Cool Things"
This new blog is hosted, in part, by Ira Sukrungruang, a professor of creative writing at the State University of New York at Oswego. Ira is a terrific writer, but he's also a great reader and he has what the Victorians used to call a "circle" and what the French used to call an "atelier" and which they call "a posse" in the hood--namely, he has sharp friends who think about the human oddity known as "bookishness"--and which the Victorians called "Englishness" and which the French call "le mot just" and which they call in the hood "hip hop" and which they call in Finland,"not killing yourself because the weather is unsupportive of primate life which is why books were invented in the first place". (That is, of course, all one word in Finnish.)
I encourage you to visit this new blog today! Tell 'em Steve K. sent you...
S.K.
Thanks for the tip. I visited The Clever Title, enjoyed it and had added it to my bookmarks.
