We know that the point of this New York Times Sunday Styles piece on N+1 editor and author Keith Gessen wasn't supposed to be about the fact that he is obsessed with checking his Amazon.com ranking. Though it's nice to know that even good-looking...
Yesterday, we told you about Sloane Crosley's debut on the Times 's nonfiction paperback bestseller list, yet we neglected to rhapsodize about the #1 book on the hardcover fiction list . That would be Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri's...
A Year of Magical Thinking, illustration via the Observer Sorry for the Observer -centric coverage of late, but Leon Neyfakh's piece in this week's Observer -- about what he calls the "' how I turned my life around in one year ' mini...
Keith Gessen: Author, broad-shouldered man. The Observer is really doing some excellent shoe-leather reporting on sub-cultures these days. Last week's awkward musing on Urbane Tomboys flummoxed us (aren't these girls just hipsters who wear boy...

Er, more specifically, JANET MALCOLM has reviewed Gossip Girl , and we're talking about the book series by Cecily von Ziegesar, not the television series by Josh Scwhartz. Oh, we are completely losing our shit over this review . It is three pages...
It's deal day for Publisher's Lunch Weekly . Fresh out of the inbox: General/Other Marisha Pessl's NIGHT FILM, a psychological thriller about obsession, family loyalty and ambition set in raw contemporary Manhattan, moving to Kate Medina at...
The intimidating publisher of serious and lovely books, Farrar, Straus, & Giroux , is moving to a new HQ. Editors and publicists have been toiling away without hot water in the ladies' bathroom sinks! Rebecca Mead explains in her "Talk of...
This Independent piece got The Elegant Variation musing about various possible literary genres . It's an amusing list, and the comment-supplied suggestions are great, too.
This Thursday Styles piece about beauty bloggers and swag is basically just repackages a million-year old story about beauty editors (or fashion editors, or whatever kind of editor) and the swag that they're inundated with on a regular basis. What's...
