Wednesday Linkstorm

Sorry this Linkstorm's so late, you guys. I've been busy at work all day putting out fires (with gasoline) (psych, with spreadsheets). Anyway I hope in the meantime you read yesterday's Nonficition Pizza Party. This week's 'za was Joan Didion flavored (tastes like wrinkled flesh and weeping). Also tune in (?) tomorrow for a brand new poetry column by hilarious genius Lucy Hitz.Sad news, Nora Ephron died yesterday of cancer. Watch the ending of When H Met S in her honor. If that doesn't make make you tear up, you need to go see the Wizard about getting that heart.NPR Books wonders what will happen to your e-books when you die. Dunno about you guys, but mine will be buried with me in my e-pyramid along with my e-servants and my e-riches.This week's By the Book interviews Richard Ford, who is ridiculously charming of course. Excerpt: "Which of the books you've written is your favorite? Your favorite character? With all due respect, I wrote them all as hard as I could, did my best. That question is best left for readers — if I have any." Ah! Richard Ford did his best, you guys!Martin Amis moved to Brooklyn. Right now he's living in this sick McKibbin loft space with a bunch of dudes who have an art collective. It's chill though, he's got his own plywood cubicle and there's plenty of room for his fixie. (JK, his house looks like this.)The entire staff of Good Magazine got laid off. Tough luck, fellows! Help fund their very earnest-sounding next project.Robert Sylvester Kelly, the auteur behind this masterwork, among other things, is finally having his autobiography published tomorrow. Soula Coaster, you guys. SOULA COASTER. Hi, Pulitzer Committee? It's me, that one girl who writes Linkstorm. Just calling to tell you to stop the contest cause we found the winner!Could anyone possibly be interested in George Eliot's childhood home? Apparently!Slow news day, suckers. That's all you get.--Erin Somers
