Elsewhere
I hope some of you have been venturing into the "Sites to See" section of the right-hand column. I pay frequent visits to all the sites for which I've posted links, a few of them every day. I realize, though, that not all of these blogs may be exactly to your taste, so I've decided to make periodic mention of a particular site worthy of your attention, so as to give you a clearer idea of what you're missing.Like me, Maud Newton just got back from a vacation (she went south, I went north), and I'm delighted to see her back at the same old stand. Newton is a New York-based writer (and a good one, too) who doubles as an editor, and her blog, whose subtitle is "Occasional literary links, amusements, politics, and rants," is a well-designed, wide-ranging daily compilation of links to news stories and commentaries about art and culture--mostly literary, though she occasionally ventures onto wilder shores. She has nicely idiosyncratic taste and an eye for interesting stuff, and it's a rare day that I visit her blog without clicking through to at least one of the items she's posted.
Pay her a visit and tell her I sent you.
