Lore Segal, who died on Monday, at the age of 96, published her first short story in The New Yorker in 1961, and her final one two weeks ago, some 63 years later. https://t.co/pMVZSuRL7X

@PhilKlay Denis Johnson, "Beverly Home," "Dirty Wedding," and "Triumph Over the Grave"

Joy Williams, from "The Other Week" -- one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read.

[William Ghosh @WillGhosh]

I'm ten pages from the end and it is indeed extremely good https://t.co/BWmkN7pQMb

Lore Segal's late, Manhattan stories have been appearing for a few years now. The one in the current @NewYorker reads like a summation. It's extraordinary, and hearing her reading it in her own voice is magical.

A cultural history of twentieth-century Britain might fittingly end with a chapter on Caroline Aherne. She was a genius and this is a beautiful, loving portrait.

Very sad to hear of the death of the critic and poet Edward Baugh, a giant of West Indian letters.

[William Ghosh @WillGhosh]

Terrific

@austinkleon I have spent the weekend reading the new Portis Library of America, and got to this absolute gem last night

[William Ghosh @WillGhosh]

@scriblerian I think there's a chapter long reading of Nocturnal in Muldoon's End of the Poem

"The great British movie artist of working class Catholic experience and gay identity ... with a voice that might have belonged to a matinee idol."

Alongside Distant Voices etc, I have a particular soft spot for his version of Rattigan's Deep Blue Sea.

One of my favourite books of all time. I remember reading it in my kitchen as a teenager. Every time I tried to write about anything for about fifteen years afterwards I had its "we..." narrative voice somewhere in my ear.

[The Paris Review @parisreview]

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Jeffrey Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides, which we first published as a short story 3 years before the book materialized.

To mark the occasion, we’re unlocking the original story from our archive.

@_discoursis I think the Michael Silk CUP one is supposed to be good

"There is no sorrow I have thought more about than that -- to love what is great, and try to reach it, and yet to fail."

"It can take days to recover and collect oneself from the experience of reading"

Highly entertaining interview with Ken Ramchand, one of the great originals...
