There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I have E&P on my bookpile. So looking forward to reading it.
Not literary, but more literary-adjacent. I put up a post about author visits to schools today [link] - having been on both sides, and having sat through some doozies, I thought it would be interesting to discuss things that work best. If buffista writers and teachers and librarian warlords and former students and readers and buffistas would be interested in weighing in, I would love it.
Ha!
I LOVE the clueless guy in the comments.
I love that.
David Gilmour isn't sexist. He just wasn't paying attention to what he was saying to the interviewer because he was also having an important conversation in French. [link]
I mean, I’m the only guy in North America who teaches Truman Capote
....what? Surely this is not possible.
Important conversations are always held in French, of course.
I hate this guy a little more every day.
[The guy from his publisher] was concerned that this was going to affect the general climate around the book, that some women might not like the book if they think that that’s my policy. And that’s one of the reasons that I’m apologizing. Normally I actually wouldn’t.
"This was an interview I gave sort of over the shoulder. I was having a conversation, in French, with a colleague while this young woman was doing this interview. So these were very much tossed-off remarks."
"This is what comes out of my mouth when I don't have time to filter myself. Had I been paying attention to the young woman I'd agreed to let interview me, I surely would have pretended not to be such an assface."
