I’m reading The Ambassadors by Henry James and wrote about the process of reading it with quotes from Sven Birkerts and Annie Dillard and an attempt to break down a Jamesian sentence.
My review of Gary Lutz’s phenomenal Divorcer is in the current issue of The Review of Contemporary Fiction. It is the Flann O’Brien issue. Reviews are on-line and the main material is in the print edition. Please consider supporting this august journal, a wing of Dalkey Archive Press–it’s only $8.

A review of John Hawkes’s The Passion Artist, recently re-issued by Dalkey Archive, is at Rain Taxi.
A review of Dickinson: Selected Poems and Commentaries by Helen Vendler is at The Quarterly Conversation.
Amanda DiSanto reviewed There’s Something Wrong with Sven very perceptively at A Cappella Zoo.
Finally, there is a Flash-Fictionalization of Milli Vanilli’s “Girl, I’m Gonna Miss You” Video at Big Other.
