The American coming-of-age story

Ashley ― 12 days ago
www.guardian.co.uk ― The Guardian asks the question: why are American so good at writing coming-of-age stories? The Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird... We certainly do have our share of our outstanding ones. Is there something particularly American about the teen/tween story? (Classics)

Poetry for Children

Ashley ― 40 days ago
www.slate.com ― Robert Pinsky recommends seven classic children's poems for us to read to our kids. Nothing to sweet or sing-songy - actual poems with depth and meaning. Poems that Pinsky describes as having both "musicality and truthfulness." So often, we underestimate our children's interest in literature. This is a lovely reminder not to. (Classics)

The Digital Faulkner

Ashley ― 50 days ago
www.npr.org ― Such brilliant news: UVA has put Faulkner's lectures online from the two years he spent there as a writer-in-residence. To listen to his lectures and his discussions with students, I would be in heaven.

I love the silly parts of the internet as much as anyone else, but ideas like this make the internet transcendent. (Classics)
