Publishing Spotted: Are You For Real?

Joe Gould's Secret (Tie-in Edition) (Modern Library)What happens when your non-fiction subject turns out to be a much different person than you expected?

The NY Times City Room blog has an essay about Joseph Mitchell's awe-inspiring book of literary journalism, Joe Gould's Secret. Read the book. You will thank me. That's all I have to say.

If that's not enough kooky literary characters for you, read about this Cape Cod novelist who wrote an entire fake transcript of his hoax visit to Oprah's book club. The transcript is one of the craziest pieces of fiction I read all week. (Thanks, GalleyCat)

Finally, the San Francisco Bay Guardian Online delivers an insightful essay about Tao Lin, featuring some interesting thoughts about the first generation of novelists weaned on the Internet.

Publishing Spotted collects the best of what's around on writing blogs on any given day. Feel free to send tips and suggestions to your fearless editor: jason [at] thepublishingspot.com.
