Enormous news for US literature. A new, Mellon-led, $50 million fund for nonprofit literary orgs and publishers. Closest thing we've ever had to it was Mellon and Wallace in 1991, which, in today's dollars, was still less than half this. Open call begins Nov 10. literaryartsfund.org/about/

About | Literary Arts Fund

The Literary Arts Fund advances support for the nonprofit literary arts field toward ensuring creative writers’ contributions to American literature for generations to come.

TFW an essay says exactly what you've been compiling as a rant in your head? And does it super well with a bunch of careful research + shoutout to other excellent scholars? For me, that's Sarah Pett's "Rash Reading: Rethinking Virginia Woolf's On Being Ill"

Creating this festschrift reminded me of a basic truth: you can do something nice for someone whenever you want. Don't wait until people are dead to praise them. Don't hold out for someone else to do it. Nominate people for prizes. Write someone a note of appreciation. Today's the day.

A picture of me holding Geoffrey Bilder's festschrift in a print copy. I have a goofy smile.

Reading the Northanger Abbey chapter of @devoney.bsky.social’s latest book and this “turn a Romance into a novel!” table is killing me 😂

A castle,.. put An House.
A cavern, •A bower.
A groan,. A sigh.
A giant,.A father.
A blood-stained dagger.A fan.
Howling blasts …A zephyr.

A knight - a gentleman without whiskers
A lady who is the heroine - need not be changed being versatile
Assassins, - killing glances
A monk, - an old steward
Skeletons, skulls, &c. — Compliments, sentiments, &c.
A lamp, — a candle
A magic book sprinkled with
blood - a letter bedewed with tears
Mysterious voices _ Abstruse words, (easily found in a dictionary).
A secret oath, a tender hint
A gliding ghost, - an usurer or attorney
A witch, - an old housekeeper
A wound - a kiss
A midnight murder, - a marriage

Late night Watergate crimeposting

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Sep 21

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Very cool piece from Jed Kudrick and @sdileonardi.bsky.social on the history of translation in the US literary scene!

Public Books @publicbooks.bsky.social · Sep 16

New at PB: Jed Kudrick & @sdileonardi.bsky.social use data from the NYT bestseller list to map 3 popular waves of literature in translation in the US: the postwar popularity of European titles, the "Latin American boom," & the more recent explosion of Nordic noir.

How Translations Sell: Three U.S. Eras of International Bestsellers

A translation renaissance in US publishing just ended. And you probably missed it.
