- National Book Award Winner Alice McDermott has a new short story “I Am Awake” on Catholic-weekly Commonweal (which is completely free on the web during July)
- Check out the speaker list (Eugene Peterson, Brady Udall, Barbara Nicolosi, Stephen Carter) on the premier Christian conference on faith in writing (novels, screenplays, short stories) today, Calvin College’s The Festival of Faith and Writing. Then make plans to attend April 15-17, 2010. You won’t regret it.

- 50 Books for our times--“The fact is, no one needs another best-of list telling you how great The Great Gatsby is.
