The Believer is interviewing Chris Onstad. We heartily approve.

• LeVar Burton talks to Hero Complex about his career in television and — relevant to this site — bringing back Reading Rainbow.

• Shane Jones has new flash fiction up at Tin House.

• And Jac Jemc has a novel excerpt up at Two Serious Ladies.

• The AV Club looks at good films made from theoretically unfilmable books.

• At The Lit Pub, J/J Hastain on J.A. Tyler’s A Shiny Unused Heart: “This is one of the reasons that this book is so stimulating to me. It feels like being held under a sort of gelatinous liquid that I may or may not someday teach myself to breathe in.”
