RIP to Philip Caputo, author of Vietnam War memoir, A Rumor of War.

I met him promoting Ghosts of Tsavo, his ‘02 nonfiction account of man-eating lions in E. Africa.

Stalked by lions & Vietcong , he commented: “Man is by far the most dangerous animal.”

Thanks to everyone who came out to The Place to hear @BuffaloFood talk about journalism, dining & restaurants in #Buffalo. It was another lively & engaged discussion. @tleavesbooks @theplacebuffalo

Yes, we are going head-to-head with the @BuffaloSabres tomorrow night & I want to apologize in advance on behalf of BUFFALO, BOOKS & BEER for all the empty seats in KeyBank Center. If you were worried about missing the game, know that you can keep tabs from the bar at The Place.

This sight is depressing.

A place full of magic and memories down to rubble.

They BETTER have a memorial or ANYTHING to honor the past.

What do you think? Does #Buffalo need Michelin & its fancy stars? Come out in ONE WEEK on Wednesday, May 6, 7 p.m., to The Place (229 Lexington Ave., Buffalo 14222) to make your case with food critic @BuffaloFood, author of FOUR BITES: WHERE TO EAT IN BUFFALO, 2026 EDITION

[FourBites.net @BuffaloFood]

Paying Michelin to come to Buffalo is a bad idea. $250K/yr with no guarantees of ANY stars. Michelin inspectors get the world’s best every damn day. Buffalo resto hypebeast here but Ima keep it 💯: Michelin could come here and award zero stars, not the headline Buffalo craves.

Good News:

After 20 years of declining numbers, indie booksellers have come "roaring back."

There are about 70% more bookstores now than there were in 2020.

The American Booksellers Association membership has grown from 1,900 to 3,200.

I finished watching 3-part “Henry David Thoreau” by @KenBurns & dozed during each episode, not because it wasn’t interesting but because to answer Thoreau’s call to “live in the present”requires not frantic action but attentive concentration resulting in meditative serenity. @PBS

Ann Godoff changed my life when she approved @penguinpress to publish BIRD DREAM. Ann was an estimable figure in publishing & I couldn’t believe my good luck when she contracted a book about #wingsuit pilots on a quest to land w/o a parachute. https://t.co/BumA619ZXM via @NYTimes
