James Frey got a new book deal. And yes, this time he's going to try actually calling it fiction. And as no publicity is bad publicity, some of the original fraud will definitely benefit the promotion of this book.  Also with AP here.

In other news. the study of literature is heading downhill fast in France, where students look to sociology or economics as their preferred areas of focus. "Xavier Darcos said that France was in danger of becoming a nation of unemployed sociologists unable to master speech or thought."  Beware the unemployed sociologists!

Literature for Kossacks does Borges, here.

I enjoy the Lee Goldberg blog, and this week he contemplates the common writer predicament: he thinks he sucks.
