In @theadvocatebr, @Danny_Heitman on the second life of Charles Portis’s “The Dog of the South.” “Sales were slow when the book came out in 1979, but five years later, the staff and management of Madison Avenue bookshop in New York went crazy for it.” theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/en…

In @The_Rumpus, @_michaelbarron on DeLillo’s literary winning streak. “It is unusual for the best-known works of a writer’s oeuvre to be contained entirely in an unbroken run, but DeLillo was an autodidact, learning how to be a novelist while on the job.” therumpus.net/2023/11/07/don…
