KJV Style
Graham Osteen contacted me to share this review…
Where is Jenn Lewin?
Here’s a review of Robert Alter’s new book…..if you don’t know who Robert Alter is, you have not studied “The Bible As Literature” at the Sewanee School of Letters. But don’t worry. Jesus forgives you. He was a powerful rebel. Hope everyone is doing well
Sullivan on the Blues
Jason Kelley sent me a link to (non-fiction professor) John Jeremiah Sullivan’s latest book review in the November 08 Harper’s (subscription required). While searching for a free version of the piece, I found more on Sullivan’s interest in the blues (sort of an interview about a review of the texts which are themselves grappling with the music). All of which makes the blues seem even more intriguing… I mean, you could never get this much mileage out of, say, the new Guns n Roses. Though I would welcome the attempt.
