		<description><![CDATA[So, let&#8217;s start with the good news from my writing world this week: The latest installment of my &#8220;First Looks&#8221; column for Fiction Writers Review went live. Plus: I received a lovely email from a woman who had just finished reading Quiet Americans and who then posted a five-star review on Amazon. The bad: a litmag rejection that disappointed me more than I anticipated it would. The ugly: some unpleasant hijacking of my Facebook author page. Nothing I can&#8217;t handle. Just some garden-variety unpleasantness. And a reason to think more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, Palestinian &#8220;security officers&#8221; in Gaza broke up the closing event of the Palestine Festival of Literature. It must have been quite a scene. (You have to figure that when the Palestinian Center for Human Rights denounces Hamas&#8211;without actually naming Hamas, of course&#8211;something not-so-nice really did happen.) So, where&#8217;s the outrage that one might ordinarily expect, especially from the media/literary folks? For that matter&#8211;where&#8217;s the coverage? Do you know how fast anything disadvantageous to the proceedings of this festival would be broadcast around the world (and the Internet) if [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s begin here: Did you know that Cynthia Ozick has written a novel set in a Jewish day school? On the Jewish flavor of the works of Maurice Sendak. Summer internship opportunity (albeit unpaid) with the Jewish Book Council. And a job announcement from the Forward, which is looking for an Arts &#38; Culture Editor. Finally, a personal note: This week marked the 30th anniversary of my becoming a Bat Mitzvah. The secular and Hebrew calendars seem [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, Twitter led me to agent Jennifer Laughran&#8217;s blog, where a post titled &#8220;Reading with the Enemy&#8221; had launched a really fascinating and complicated discussion about issues I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time thinking about myself (including over the past few weeks after reading Tracy Hahn-Burkett&#8217;s related post on &#8220;A Bit of Controversy in Your Platform?&#8221;). I encourage you to read Jennifer&#8217;s whole post, but I&#8217;m going to excerpt what I think are the key questions (they&#8217;re the ones I&#8217;m still thinking about, anyway): Lots of people are less [...]]]></description>

This is the journal&#8217;s first Pushcart Prize. An excerpt from the winning story is available on the J Journal website.
