Librarians vs. Google
Librarians are not being quiet about the problems with the Google settlement.
A Pair of Foster Wallace Bios for Sale
Proposals for two biographies of the late author hit the market earlier this month, by D.T Max (which sold to Viking) and David Lipsky (unsold so far), both of whom wrote major magazine pieces about the author following his suicide.
The Times on Salinger
A thorough look at Salinger’s lawsuit against a copycat writer.
Teen Books to Burn?
A Christian group in Wisconsin seeks to burn library copies of Francesca Lia Block’s Baby Be-Bop, which was recommended by the library as a good book dealing with “gay and lesbian issues.”
