Day in Review

Daughter seeking publisher for Saddam Hussein’s memoirs 

Inflated self-assessment camouflages incompetence 

Wishing recovery for Edmund White

A connection between The Paris Review and the CIA? 

Outlawing hateful speeches

P.G. Wodehouse turned strife into comedy

Roland Barthes: the fun French theorist

“Are we there yet?” written anew

Bananas as capitalism’s study tool

Duping Grant in a gilded-age scam

Following in Chaucer’s footsteps, literally

Weighing in on the fiction of Albert Cossery

John Updike’s Higher Gossip
