About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: I’m Paris, she’s Nicole

February 20, 2004 by Terry Teachout

Once I wake up, I’ll catch up, but it’s already been drawn to my attention that OGIC and I crashed a very nice party. According to the Literary Saloon:

In this week’s issue (of 19-26 February) of Time Out NY Maureen Shelly offers a literary weblog overview (the article is apparently not available online.) The weblogs she features are: the Literary Saloon, Bookslut
(“a favorite among young writers”), Maud Newton
(“covers a stunningly broad range of literary news”), About Last Night (“offers a more sophisticated take on the book biz”), Beatrice
(“Hogan maintains a civil tone in his critiques, thereby upping his credibility factor”), and the registration-requiring Publishers Lunch.

Needless to say, all the aforementioned blogs are to be found in “Sites to See,” along with plenty of others that are no less deserving of your attention. We admit to being especially pleased, though, to share space with Supermaud, if only because she promised to go see the Milton Avery show at the Phillips Collection in Washington this weekend, then come back and tell us all about it. She’s so cool.


Oh, yes, in case you were wondering, I haven’t opened my mailbox yet. I can’t get up the nerve. Nor have I caught up with my blogwatching. But I will, once I get another chunk of the Balanchine book written, not to mention a full night’s sleep, which I need most desperately. Right at this moment I feel like Leon Trotsky, post-axe.


See you Saturday.
