The war is over. Finally literary bloggers and literary newspaper sections are combining forces, instead of fighting with each other.
You can see the truce in effect over at Ed Champion's site. He just interviewed science fiction pioneer William Gibson for his blogged Bat Segundo Show, and then published a review of Rupert Thomson's novel in the Los Angeles Times in the same weekend.
Emdashes blogged a killer reading list that will teach any fledgling writer a masters level course about short fiction. Here's the intro:
"I propose a new category: works of fiction that originally appeared in The New Yorker that later took on a life of their own apart from the magazine."
Our buddy Jeffrey Yamaguchi has initiated a lunchtime revolution, and I'm joining tomorrow. You should too, because after this GalleyCat post we should see the insides of plenty of literary lunches.
"Yamaguchi has also created a public "Brought My Lunch" photo pool, and whoever posts the best photo by this Friday, August 31, will receive three creativity-themed books and possibly some lunchtime accessories."
