- I’m about three reports behind on the New York Film Festival. And I’m about to conduct my third Segundo interview in 24 hours. So here’s a quick roundup of links in the meantime.
- Don DeLillo blogs the White House.
- Graham Robb investigates some of the reasons why the new Les Miserables translation is 100,000 words longer than the current gold standard. (via Maud)
- Carolyn Kellogg discovers the sad future of book reviewing.
- Not only does South Dakota need an apology, but I think Matt Weiland and Sean Wilsey owe us an apology for this smug and mostly tedious anthology.
- Do comic tats violate copyright? (via Joanne)
- So here’s the question: will all those who defended chick lit from the snobs go after Stephen King for his generalizations about the male reader? (via Tayari)
- Yes, it’s true. We Champions are certainly making a case for these words staying in the Collins dictionary. For shame!
- Connie Willis at the Rocky Mountain News: Interview and story. (via Sarah)
- 3AM talks with Stephen Dixon. (via Condalmo)
- Stephen Fry on the universal remote control.
- Well, it had to happen sooner or later: Contra James Wood, an anti-Wood blog. I’m still waiting for a Typepad blog called Opposing the Mendelsohn Brothers or a LiveJournal named Adam Kirsch is the Enemy of Literature and the Enemy of the State. (via Dan Green)
- And you are either with us or against us on the hot dog question. (via Jenny D)

Will DeLillo (or rather, “DeLillo”) be blogging the NYSE?
“They have to walk slowly to accommodate their awe.”
This was fairly close and pretty funny but they haven’t quite gotten the dialogue down…
Thanks, Ed. I’m still working on the anti-Mendelsohn Bros. and anti-Kirsch blogs, though, OK? I can only do so much!
Cheers!
