ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but 'my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died, and I don't want this stuff' has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum

RIP to comics pioneer Trina Robbins, who expanded the horizons of the medium as a writer, artist, scholar, advocate and mentor. Story at Forbes Entertainment forbes.com/sites/robsalko…

My darling has a new book coming soon, about Kate Carew, the talented and quirky artist/writer. She interviewed and drew Picasso, the Suffragettes, Jack Johnson, the Wright Brothers, Mark Twain, many more; she was inventive and fearless, much-married, and just plain interesting.

Kelly Link on “nighttime logic”

Happy pub day to this beautiful book! I first read Kelly’s words after hearing her in conversation with Audrey Niffenegger in 2011 & it’s been a literary love affair ever since so to have had even a small role introducing #TheBookOfLove to the world is a career dream come true!
