Afternoon Bites: Birth of Uncool, Chuck Klosterman on “Room 237,” YA Comics, and More

October 18, 2012 No Comments

At Grantland, Chuck Klosterman looks at the documentary Room 237. At The AV Club, Noel Murray looks at the growing world of YA comics. “We can write about music that’s hundreds of years old or an album that’s coming out next week; go to the Taylor Swift concert or dig deep into Swedish death-metal. Our work will be limited only by our writers’ curiosity and passion.” UNCOOL sounds quite promising. Tom McGeveran remembers growing up on Roosevelt Island. The guys behind the […]

Bites: Glenn Beck Likes Books, Daniel Nester, James Wood, Nerdcore, Klosterman on Balloon Boy, Kurt Vile, and More

Over at MobyLives, they talk about Glenn Beck being the new Oprah for a bunch of writers we could really care less about. We wonder to ourselves if this post was just a genius ploy by Melville House to get Beck to notice Shoplifting From American Apparel? Lit. Daniel Nester and Vol. 1 Brooklyn contributor Claire Shefchik make nice after Shefchik reviews his book. We think everything is going to be okay. James Wood talks about Thomas Pynchon’s characters.
