Day in Review

by

Deciphering hieroglyphics

Don’t forget Vargas Llosa punched the hell out of Garcia Marquez

The human attention span crumbling like a Roman aqueduct 

Bismark’s brutal honesty

Cultivating the leisure class

Tom Bissell is a self-declared fiction snob

Contemplating altered states

Movies about writers are stupid in exact proportion to how entertaining they are

Boo hoo: an ebook reader misses reading print

Microsoft’s (sort of) tablet

Oh the things you’ll learn: the intelligence of crows

Seth Godin using Kickstarter?

Kevin Murphy is the digital media marketing manager of Melville House.
