The DNA of Literature.....online. This doesn't mean much to me I must confess, though the site looks cool, but I'm sure there are some monkeys who would be interested in knowning that the Paris Review is now online. via Crooked Timber.

Now, for the first time, you can read, search and download any or all of over three hundred in-depth interviews with poets, novelists, playwrights, essayists, critics, musicians, and more, whose work set the compass of twentieth-century writing, and continue to do so into the twenty-first century.

I liked this quote from Dorothy Parker

“Gertrude Stein did us the most harm when she said, ‘You're all a lost generation.’ That got around to certain people and we all said, ‘Whee! We're lost.’”
