Christopher Ingraham – Washington Post: “I ordered a box of crickets…”

This story is too fun: “I ordered a box of crickets from the Internet and it went about as well as you’d expect,” by Christopher Ingraham December 29, 2018 in the Washington Post. Find it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6 

“For Christmas this year, my family adopted a young bearded dragon lizard as a pet.

“Our dragon, whom we named Holly, eats a lot, and the thing she loves to eat most is crickets (typically about 10 a day, in addition to other things like mealworms and vegetables). From the get-go, I knew that keeping an ample supply of crickets on hand would require some planning. We live in a rural area of northwestern Minnesota. The closest pet shop is an hour away, in North Dakota. Restocking our cricket supply would require a time commitment of at least two hours out and back.

“By Christmas Day this year, Holly’s cricket supply was running low. I decided to order crickets online, which I had never done before, to save a trip to North Dakota. I bought the crickets from Fluker Farms, one of the more well-established online insect vendors (yes, these exist and there are a lot of them). I decided on a shipment of 250 crickets …” Read much more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6

Ray Bradbury: Many people hear voices

“Many people hear voices when no one is there.

“Some of them are called ‘mad’ and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day.

Others are called ‘writers” and they do pretty much the same thing. Attributed to Ray Bradbury.

“Her and his” A Review by “The Economist” of “White Heat: The Friendship of Emily Dickinson & Thomas Wentworth Higginson” by Brenda Wineapple

July 24^th, 2008 - re-read April 21, 2016 / KED

I’ve always been a huge Emily Dickinson fan and this book intrigues me… Moreover, I have always been particularly interested in the friendships and relationships among writers… KED

Part One: Life

XXXIII

Emily Dickinson:

DARE you see a soul at the white heat?

  Then crouch within the door.         

Red is the fire’s common tint;

  But when the vivid ore

Has sated flame’s conditions,

  Its quivering substance plays

Without a color but the light  

  Of unanointed blaze.

Least village boasts its blacksmith,

  Whose anvil’s even din

Stands symbol for the finer forge

  That soundless tugs within,

Refining these impatient ores

  With hammer and with blaze,

Until the designated light

  Repudiate the forge.

American literary friendships

Hers and his

Jul 24th 2008 From The Economist print edition

“BIOGRAPHY first convinces us of the fleeing of the Biographied,” wrote Emily Dickinson, America’s most famous female poet of the 19th century, uncannily foreseeing how inscrutable a subject she herself would turn out to be.

Rather like Emily Brontë, with whom she identified, Dickinson shrank from contact with the world, scuttling off in her signature white dress as soon as a visitor appeared at the door. Reluctant to share her pared-down, laser-sharp and sometimes terrifyingly inward poems through publication—only seven were printed in her lifetime—she nevertheless relied on an iron core of self-belief, quietly prophesying that posterity would recognise her genius.

Dickinson’s externally uneventful life has been chronicled before, but Brenda Wineapple finds a new way in by focusing on her relationship with the man who would eventually help to bring her to the public gaze after her death…

[…]

Moralists in the 17^th century panicked over novels.

They reasoned that women, being somehow unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, would act out of immoral situations they read in novels. (We should all hope.)

Lester Bangs - America's greatest rock journalist.

Lester Bangs - America's greatest rock journalist.

America's greatest rock journalist. Died way too young: December 14, 1948 – April 30, 1982.

Lester Bangs is the folk hero of every freelance writer. In the early 1970s I was inspired to write as much stuff as I could and send it in to as many magazines and newspapers as possible dreaming of getting a break like Mr. Bangs did in 1969.

Alas, all I did was collect an extremely impressive collection of wonderfully worded rejection letters. His writing was awesome and back in the day I tried to read everything he wrote... For years I saved a box of his stuff from Rolling Stone and later, Creem.

His death on April 30, 1982 was a harsh lesson in reality for all of us with a typewriter and a dream. For a classic adventure in reading, try: "Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung: The Work of a Legendary Critic: Rock 'n' Roll as Literature and Literature as Rock 'n' Roll," published posthumously in 1987...

Lester Bangs Comes to Life Onstage in 'How to Be a Rock Critic'

Follow: @rollingstone on Twitter | RollingStone on Facebook

"A hero is a goddamn stupid thing to have," legendary rock critic Lester Bangs said two weeks ago. Actually, it was actor Erik Jensen, impersonating Bangs — his hero. The setting was a rehearsal room at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in the Culver City neighborhood of Los Angeles, where Jensen and director Jessica Blank were working on the one-man play they wrote about Bangs (who died in 1982, at age 33), How to Be a Rock Critic. On a set depicting Bangs' living room, cluttered with stacks of vinyl records and empty bottles of beer and cough syrup, Jensen brought Bangs back to life, right down to the mustache and the DETROIT SUCKS T-shirt: hectoring, joking, lecturing, fumbling towards a state of grace… http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/lester-bangs-comes-to-life-onstage-in-how-to-be-a-rock-critic-20150616

December 6, 1933: Ulysses is ruled not obscene

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/ulysses-is-ruled-not-obscene

On this day, a federal judge rules that Ulysses by James Joyce is not obscene. The book had been banned immediately in both the United States and England when it came out in 1922. Three years earlier, its serialization in an American review had been cut short by the U.S. Post Office for the same reason. Fortunately, one of James' supporters, Sylvia Beach, owner of the bookstore Shakespeare and Co. in Paris, published the novel herself in 1922.

It's Not Your Grandfather's Road Trip!

Looking For Redfeather; A 21^st Century Novel About Three Runaway Teens in the American West.

Fiction House, Ltd. announces the publication of Looking for Redfeather, a novel by award- winning author, Linda Collison, who studied History at Metropolitan State University, worked as a registered nurse at Denver’s Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center, and raised three children in Denver.

"Fifteen-year-old Ramie Redfeather hitchhikes out of Cheyenne, looking for his father, a man he’s never met. Seventeen-year-old Chas Sweeney has taken his grandmother’s vintage Cadillac Eldorado and fled Maryland, looking for sentient life on a barren planet.  Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Faith Appleby, who has changed her name to Mae B. LaRoux and bought a fake I.D. with money she nicked out of the church collection plate, has left her home in Baton Rouge and is on a westbound Greyhound bus, guitar in hand, looking to win the break-out blues contest in Austin.  The three teens meet by chance in Denver, where a good portion of the story is set, and head out on a road trip to the Austin Music Festival, looking for the elusive Redfeather on the way."

Tom Robbins, Still Life With Woodpecker: It was autumn, the springtime of death.

“It was autumn, the springtime of death. Rain spattered the rotting leaves, and a wild wind wailed. Death was singing in the shower. Death was happy to be alive. The fetus bailed out without a parachute. It landed in the sideline Astroturf, so upsetting the cheerleaders that for the remained of the afternoon their rahs were more like squeaks.”

Thomas Eugene Robbins (born July 22, 1936 in Blowing Rock, North Carolina) is an American author. His novels are complex, often wild stories with strong social undercurrents, a satirical bent, and obscure details. His novel Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1976) was made into a movie in 1993 directed by Gus Van Sant.

Famed crime novelist Elmore Leonard dies

Famed crime novelist Elmore Leonard dies

By Dennis McLellan August 20, 2013

Elmore Leonard, whose character- and dialogue-driven urban tales of con men, hustlers and killers such as "Glitz," "Get Shorty" and "Out of Sight" earned him a reputation as one of America's greatest crime novelists and one of Hollywood's favorite storytellers, died Tuesday. He was 87…. http://www.herald-mail.com/breakingnews/la-me-elmore-leonard-20130821%2C0%2C1238346.story

[….]

Leonard was newly married when he launched his literary career in 1951, moonlighting as a writer of western short stories for the then-thriving pulp magazine market.

His first western novel, "The Bounty Hunters," was published in 1953. Four more of his western novels were published over the next eight years, while two of his short stories were being turned into movies — "The Tall T," starring Randolph Scott; and "3:10 to Yuma," starring Glenn Ford (and remade in 2007 with Russell Crowe).

After the market for westerns dried up in the 1960s, Leonard switched to writing contemporary crime novels, the literary genre that made him a worldwide critical favorite and earned him fans ranging from Nobel laureate Saul Bellow to President George W. Bush to director Quentin Tarantino.

Beginning with "The Big Bounce" in 1969, Leonard turned out dozens of crime novels, including "Mr. Majestyk," "Swag," "Gold Coast," "Split Images" and "Stick." His 1983 novel "La Brava" earned him an Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America…. http://www.herald-mail.com/breakingnews/la-me-elmore-leonard-20130821%2C0%2C1238346.story
