\"peterdribendog\"Ernest Hemingway<\/b>‘s drinkable feast<\/a>: Most tributes to Hemingway cite his vastly influential writing, but his globe-trotting adventurousness also made him a trailblazer when it came to cocktails.<\/i> * Inglourious Basterds<\/i>: World War II according to Tarantino<\/a> (see also, the 10 most historically inaccurate movies<\/a>) * Rashomon<\/b><\/i> the movie, diagrammed<\/a> in an attempt to figure it all out (via London Review Blog<\/a>) * The Collagist<\/a> * Huxley vs. Orwell<\/a> (via @kenbaumann<\/a>) * Mick Sacks<\/a> in conversation with Dan Clowes<\/b>: “I’ve been called everything from a “graphic novelist” to a “comic-strip novelist” to just a “cartoonist.” I’ve always preferred “cartoonist,” because that seems the least obnoxious. I used to tell people I was a “comic-book artist,” but they’d look at me as if I’d just stepped in dog shit and walked across their Oriental rug. I never knew what to call myself, but I was always opposed to the whole “graphic novelist” label. To me, it just seemed like a scam. I always felt that people would say, “Wait a minute! This is just a comic book!” But now, I’ve given up.”<\/i> * P\u00c3\u00a1draig \u00c3\u201c M \u00e9al\u00c3\u00b3id<\/a> asks 16 comics professionals (including Neil Gaiman<\/b>, Bryan Talbot<\/b>, Dave McKean<\/b>) the question, “What’s your opinion of the term ‘Graphic Novel’?”<\/i> * “Is it time to burn this book?”<\/i> Slate<\/a> on Ray Bradbury<\/b>‘s Fahrenheit 451<\/i>, the comic * The trailer for Astro Boy<\/i><\/a> * Two takes<\/a> on Nelson Algren<\/b>‘s Entrapment & Other Writings<\/i> (see also, An American Nightmare: The US versus Nelson Algren<\/a> by 3:AM<\/i>‘s Darran Anderson) * Steve Almond<\/a>‘s Bad Poetry Corner<\/a>, a wonderfully bad poem written by Almond, his younger self or another bad poet * Beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti<\/b>‘s mini-renaissance<\/a>: “Allen Ginsberg<\/b> gave me an early version to read, it was a manuscript that was more or less gathered up from under the bed and the pages shuffled together, and that was considered a great breakthrough as a literary technique. The junkie mentality was a death consciousness, a consciousness totally ridden with death and evil and I just didn’t see any reason to disseminate that consciousness. So we didn’t publish Naked Lunch<\/b> and thereby didn’t become millionaires. I didn’t have the benefit of knowing that [William<\/b>] Burroughs<\/b> would develop into a great writer.”<\/i> (via @ohellwithemma<\/a>) * Jay Farrar<\/b> & Ben Gibbard<\/b> talk about their Jack Kerouac project<\/a> * Kenneth Cox<\/a>, founding member of Leeds Surrealist Group<\/a>, on Gh \u00e9rasim Luca<\/b>‘s The Passive Vampire<\/i> * Martin Amis<\/b>, the “the oldest enfant terrible in town”<\/i><\/a>? * George Walden<\/a> on David Peace<\/b>: “Like so much of our officially proclaimed Renaissance, Peace’s originality is embarrassingly pass \u00e9. Capital letters screaming at you? Where do you start? Wyndham Lewis<\/b> in Blast and Hubert Selby Jr<\/b> in Last Exit to Brooklyn come to mind at random. Textual fooling around, in oCcULT mode? Well, Apollinaire<\/b> wrote in circles a century ago, when it was innovative, then there was Raymond Queneau<\/b>. Lines crossed out? Done two centuries ago, in Tristram Shandy<\/b>. Reading Peace can be dispiritingly like watching a naughty YBA lady putting fried eggs on her tits in the belief that it puts her up there with Tristan Tzara<\/a>. Sad really, all the more because when Peace is not playing at being quirky and original, his work can be much more interesting than that of the YBAs<\/a>.<\/i> (via @StuartEvers<\/a>) * Follow 3:AM<\/i> on Twitter<\/a> for more links.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
