Calvin Trillin sits down with Mother Jones for an interview. A collection of his work, Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin: Forty Years of Funny Stuff, is out on Random House.

• Courtney Love is writing a memoir.  You had to know one day this would happen.  We’re really excited, except we’re really hoping there is no graphic talk about sex with Billy Corgan.

• Michel Moore hangs out at St. Marks Bookshop.

• The Charles Dickens coin is coming soon.

• Alfred Hitchcock and the Godfather of Soul?

• Jon Stewart takes on the (scumbag) Occupy Wall Street pepper spraying cop.  Calls him a “human crop duster,” and there’s a cameo from a Law & Order SVU actor to make it even better.

• Beautiful vintage maps of the Mississippi River.
