Publishing Spotted: Deathmatch Date, Blog Boast, and Bring Beowulf, and

Among Other Things, I've Taken Up Smoking: A NovelThe Mortal Kombat of writers is headed to New York tonight.

This competitive literary test of reading and writing wits has already caused some problems in San Francisco, so it will be interesting to see how the whole thing goes down in a Manhattan park. Check it out:

"The Literary Death Match returns to New York City on July 25 in Washington Square Park (as part of the Park Lit Series). Reading starts at 6:30, and by 7:45, a champion will be crowned."

While lit bloggers and print literary reviewers duke it out in a real life deathmatch for control of the hearts and minds of readers, novelist Aoibheann Sweeney told Galleycat that she's on the bloggers' side.

"There's something so alive about bloggers; it's like they're writing as soon as they can put the book down, instead of trying to come up with something polished that makes them look smart." Don't expect me to come up with something smart...

They are putting Beowulf on the silver screen with Angelina Jolie and Crispin Glover as the monstrous family of Grendel. High school English will never, ever be the same.
