Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.
“Dirty Life and Times: The Past, Present and Future of Working-Class Literature”– a necessary and thoughtful piece by Adam Fleming Petty for Electric Literature.
Reflections grounded in a career in literary publishing, by Gerald Howard for The Millions.
I finally caught the journalism-focused movie Spotlight this week (and it’s a stunner, if you haven’t yet seen it). I was motivated, in part, by Martin Baron’s piece for The Washington Post.
On the Ploughshares blog: praise for sentences by Michael Chabon (by Ian Denning).
And I am, quite literally, counting the days until this film–based on a beloved classic book–is released.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
I have loved The Little Prince since reading it at age 16 for French class. I own a copy of the book, in French of course.
Same, Janet!
