Let’s take a moment to acknowledge how … Continue reading

What is this thing? Because it doesn’t quite feel like a “book” in any traditional sense (and certainly doesn’t feel like a typical ham-fisted manifesto – not that I’ve read many manifestos). It doesn’t present an argument in any traditional fashion, and leaves a lot of the intellectual leg work and conclusion-making to the reader … Continue reading

Think a visit to Napa / Sonoma has to be all about wine, cheese and antiques? Hell no! Hands down, one of the coolest things I have done in 2012 is ride ziplines through the giant redwoods of Sonoma County.

Open City (2011) has been getting a lot of praise in literary circles (i.e., it was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and won the PEN/Hemingway Award), so it seemed a worthy note to begin with. Cole’s novel is probably not a great read while you’re trying to get your sun tan on, … Continue reading
