		<description><![CDATA[Do you like Gary Shteyngart? Who doesn&#8217;t? He&#8217;s hilarious. Devastatingly handsome. Almost always impeccably dressed. And he&#8217;s BFFs with James Franco. OK, sure, he&#8217;s also a pessimist, but a lovable one, as you&#8217;ll find out if you read the interview I did with him for The Rumpus: This generation is fucked. We can’t keep up with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I interviewed Jennifer Egan for the great literary online magazine The Rumpus. You can read it in full here, but here&#8217;s a teaser: Look at a book like Tristram Shandy, which is so crazily experimental in a way we still have yet to match.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my earliest sports-related memories, apart from being forcibly drowned by the summer camp bus driver/swim coach, was going to a Blackhawks game at the old Chicago Stadium, pre-MJ. I was maybe six, too lanky to play, didn&#8217;t know how to skate anyway. Plus I was already permanently embarrassed due to a bad stutter, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once-waterboarded Christopher Hitchens writes in his memoir Hitch-22 of meeting Ian McEwan (through&#8211;who else?&#8211;Martin Amis). According to Hitch, McEwan &#8220;seemed at first to possess some of the same vaguely unsettling qualities as his tales. He never raised his voice, surveyed the world in a very level and almost affectless fashion through moon-shaped granny glasses [!!!], [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It might be my own childhood stammer&#8211;which, since these things never fully go away, creeps into my mid-adulthood&#8211;but I&#8217;ve always believed there is a deeply ingrained connection between writing and stammering. Not every stammerer grows up to become a writer, but certainly there has to be a link between the agonizing isolation of the stutterer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin has been on a spending spree for years, purchasing the papers of literary titans like James Agee, Norman Mailer, and Don DeLillo (among innumerable others). Now, they&#8217;ve added David Foster Wallace&#8217;s sprawling scribblings to their collection, much of it available online. Highlights include a [...]]]></description>
