Are we a "litblog"? We just might be! Consider the evidence: We broke the story that George Saunders likes Snoopy. We know what Christopher Hitchens might sort of be said to have for breakfast. We know that novelist Tom Franklin, whose books frighten so many impressionable children, is himself scared of Barbara Eden, and that novelist James Whorton, Jr., thinks people are living on the moon and says "hubba hubba" when he sees Nixon's daughters. We ate greasy spoon cuisine with a Pulitzer Prize winner. We have filed reports from poetry readings. We watch C-Span 2 and have one-sided tiffs with famous intellectuals. We recommend novels, such as THE LONG HAUL by Amanda Stern. Sometimes we "link" to a short story or poem. So, yes, to paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, we just might be a "litblog." But are we? We look forward to hearing your comments! If only there were some way for people to comment directly on a "blog." But sadly there is not.
