Robin and Tom,

So much great stuff to read, and pass along.

Reza has a wonderful interview on The Daily Beast.

And Chris Abani, Victoria Patterson and I have essays in a new anthology called Bound to Last:  30 Writers on their Most Cherished Book.  I didn't know three Riverside people would be in there!  

Chris' piece on Baldwin is astonishing, and I can't wait to read Tory's.

Today is happy pub date for Andrew Winer's new novel, and Chris Buckley's reading from his new book - a stellar day for us.

I would also add that Reza's new anthology, Tablet and Pen, A New Anthology of Literature from the Middle East, is featured on Skylight's "Favorite books" shelf.
