Lit Links: Philip Roth, Narnia, The Secret, Quotable Quotes


I'm number one!

Philip Roth wins his 3rd PEN/FAULKNER award for Everyman. Finalists included Edward P. Jones (All Aunt Hagar's Children), Amy Hempel (The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel), Deborah Eisenberg (Twilight of the Superheroes), and Charles D'Ambrosio (The Dead Fish Museum).

Obsessed with C.S. Lewis? Happen to be in NYC on March 2, the first Friday of the month? Hang with the pseudo-Narnians.

Has anyone read The Secret? Our Oprah-loving friends won't shut up about it. Also, did author/producer Rhonda Byrne steal the idea from a husband-wife team that channel the spirit of Abraham?

The New Yorker says, "Quotable quotes are coins rubbed smooth by circulation."
