Plastic logic que delayed again

a further setback has suffered.  Already delayed, pre-order broadcasts allegedly, this week, but instead a shipping notice go customers an email from plastic logic CEO Richard Archuleta got informed the que was again delayed and cancelled your pre-orders have.

This is a further delay line with plastic logic, but I would my hopes not aufstehen.In of a world iPad it's hard to see the angle, the under $ 200 price with Kindle, where the $ 650-que fit and sell even close to enough units can be profitable.

The que would have a contender when released eight months ago, but it has just taken plastic logic to long to get your eReader finished and in consumer hands and the market you has passed through.

A review of Amazon's improved audio/video Kindle books by Chris Walters

to see how it is to an e-book with audio and video to read. Here are some fleeting thoughts on the experience.

If you ever purchased an improved eBook app from the APP store, the concept of enlarged Kindle book is trusted sein.In of fact, I believe this is basically to bypass a way for Amazon to Apple's 30% cut of sales on the app store by selling the multimedia editions through the Kindle store and they then to consumer iDevice routed.

On the other hand, the best designed apps are fast for iDevices liquid and a pleasure to use.I found the improved Kindle book not slow, but I can't see also it on a regular app to choose for one thing, for any reason, a dedicated app can cull all video clips or audio files and put to you in an easy-to-reach menu for quick access, while on the Kindle book that I'm on the right side to springen.Ich still not convinced that a book metaphor is the most efficient approach when it comes to multimedia usage.

Where are apps all the iOS magazine subscription?

Sports Illustrated is the latest prestigious magazine publisher to offer an iPad Edition. It is a nice-looking product, btw. The app itself is free, and it provides an example of what is coming. It joins the like of time, wired, Newsweek... but which currently have all the same limitation: you can only not report individual questions to buy a year subscription. Worse still, that seem to think you can charge the full print unit price for each iPad Edition most of you.

I bought the initial wired Edition for $ 4.99 but I buy the second one. Played on the weekend I was around clear a bit with the wired iPad Edition me but never finished it read.In fact, I'm more likely to read the printed copy, that I sit on my desk as the iPad Version.Und since I get the print version for $ 10 / year, why in the world would even think about the payment of $ 4.99 per iPad output?
I am certainly not the first on this blog, and I doubt, I be the last. What I understand, but, after Apple made possible months, none of the big guys, your magazines to sell reason app subscription?

You have with Apple's 30% cut do? Try that find a way to get this and sell directly?This is what Amazon tut.Wenn a Kindle Edition about the iPad app will buy actually only directly from the browser you through iTunes to buy. I'm assuming Amazon therefore not Apple pay a dime to the transaction. Why want magazine publishers not the same, especially on longer term subscriptions to do?


Of course, with magazines and newspapers, which are not exactly the most up-to-date talking about publishers when it comes to technology solutions. you are still on your print models as much as possible hold.Why else would I get 2-3 "Please come back" every month snail mails from BusinessWeek? So all this magazine/newspaper publishers are probably independently, each trying to come with their own direct sales app/tool Betrieb.Ich wondering how much time and money is wasted because you don't work together to.

Here is a crazy idea: perhaps you should do it all by Amazon.Wenn Amazon were smart, drag one would end-around to Apple and say magazine/newspaper publishers, "hey, your subscriptions by us sell... we not calculated you 30% like Apple... how about 20% or even 10%?"Amazon has the infrastructure in place to push content of the iPad and terrific customer service operation, so why you should use your platform for something like this not?

A potential case is that Apple might decide it was OK for Amazon, their books for the iPad without a percentage, but if you go to be distributors for the platform, magazine/newspaper, Amazon's iPad access are truncated to sell.We hope not.After all, if Amazon could this on, it would create a very healthy competition with Apple, and that would probably be a good thing for consumers.

Unfinished business: One man's extraordinary year attempting the right things to do

We have all been there. Sometimes life has a habit always to our best intentions. Lee Kravitz, a self admitted workaholic from a long line of workaholics, was perhaps even guilty as most of us about drift completely self employed through life. It's not that Kravitz do not know how to do the right things; it is, that his head was never enough time to do you.

To his credit when he unexpectedly whether many of the wrong in his past right given immediately but was he the opportunity. Suddenly thrown out of work in his mid-fifties decided that Kravitz spend a full year cares "Unfinished." When he, "for a variety of reasons - my self-involvement says my haste to advance issues of great episode had neglected an impression that you later I - I would.""While I had hurt the people, the me the closest and fed, fear and forced, had kept me chained to my job."Now he had the time to repair, and he was determined that his chance optimally.

Unfinished business is divided into ten chapters within its Kravitz someone from his past revisits: an aunt with in years, an old friend he has not contact, another old friend was killed his daughter, in Iraq, which he owed money for several decades has a Pakistani friend he fears, can caught until the crazy religious hatred from his home, inspiring high school teachers and even the tyrant he still hates, of you. On the way he also managed to help bring the relationship between his father and his uncle in line, and his guilt to reconcile about having grave, visits his grandmother in your last month and not had the courage to visit her funeral neglected.

"Try to do the right things" is the most amazing thing about Kravitz's years what he learns about this he feels as guilty, wronging his Vergangenheit.Die most its should victims to move have and feel not victimized by Kravitz's past behavior or neglect.Have a different perspective on your relationship with Kravitz, and he is surprised to learn that you rarely even think happened it feel so guilty.His monetary debts was forgotten his aunt is pleased to see him, and even the bully that Kravitz, felt a special goal proves to have considered just another face in the crowd.

Unfinished business is a little uneven within some chapters are so meaningful and touch that you make others first chapter scheinen.Das almost trivial in comparison to describe a very happy reconciliation with the aunt always Kravitz as your favorite family member to be the strongest of the Buches.anderen chapters dealing with family members, even for an outline visiting his grandmother is Tomb, which most likely to touch the reader.

Bottom line: This is a book with a worthy message, we all would do well to check before it is too late for us to spend time "the right things to do" for those most of our own life had.

Best 2010 Update 21

I have six new books to check a pretty fast pace for me since my last update is twelve days - 6 books in 12 days and I wonder how it happened. I decided to update my thoughts on this eternal "best of 2010" list while I wait to start the big jam session at days Inn pool. It has finally cooled in Owensboro, Kentucky, and malt production are determined to make the best of it here for ROMP 2010.

Until this time testing 5 novels and 1 memoirs are: A bad day for pretty (Sophie Littlefield), the devil amongst the lawyers (Sharyn McCrumb), the poacher's son (Paul Doiron), the third rail (Michael Harvey), Mexico City Noir (12 authors), and unfinished business (Lee Kravitz) .i'm to the point that changes to the list of less often than previously, and only 2 of 6 new books have the list cracked.

So, after due consideration, this is what the fiction list looks as read after 47 fiction books:

1. Cutting for stone - Abraham Verghese (novel)
2. Matterhorn - Karl Marlton Gigantes (Vietnam war novel)
3. The calligrapher's daughter - Eugenia Kim (novel)
4. Remarkable creatures - Tracy Chevalier (historical fiction)
5. Drood - Dan Simmons (historical fiction)
6. The secret speech - Tom Rob Smith (historical thriller)
7. Far cry - John Harvey (police prozedurale)
8. The devil under the lawyers - Sharyn McCrumb (Ballad novel)
9. a fair maiden - Joyce Carol Oates (novel)
10. Johnny porno - Charlie Stella (noir thriller)

And the non-fiction list of total 15 that to read so far in this year:
1. Is my mother never told me - Kaylie Jones (memoir)
2. Man of constant sorrow - Ralph Stanley & Eddie Dean (biography)
3. To lose that mein cool - Thomas CHATTERTON Williams (memoir)
4. Jane's fame - Claire Harman (on the evolution of Jane Austen's reputation)
5. The opposite field - Jesse Katz-(Memoiren)
6. The tennis partners - Abraham Verghese (1998 memoirs)
7. Game change - John Heilemann & Mark Halperin (political nonfiction)
8. Damp squid - Jeremy Butterfield (through the development of the English language)
9. Unfinished business - Lee Kravitz (memoir)
10. Top of the order - Sean Manning, ed. (baseball essays)
So six books and two changes: the devil amongst enters the lawyers the fiction list at number 8, the Samaritan squeeze's secret from the list and unfinished business enters the non-fiction list at number 9, A time to betray beseitigen.Das so the best 20 books of 62 books I read it now have time for some bluegrass.Posted BySam Sattlerat8: 26 PM is…

The real blessing, though, in addition to the low humidity, which was absolutely first-class Bluegrass Music I heard for about thirteen hours.

Yesterday's bands included steel string session, Jack Hicks & Summertown Stringtown, twenty - three string band, the professors of bluegrass, new Appleseed volume (Japan), Michael Cleveland & the Flamekeeper band, Claire Lynch band, Josh Williams band, Dailey & Vincent and G2 bluegrass band (Sweden).I must, however, tell people that Dailey & Vincent showing just get better and better stahlen.Diese of guys as usual, I doubt there is a fun band in any kind of music.

It's after midnight here in Owensboro, Kentucky, and I have to pack for an early departure in the morning, there will be not much details, photos or video until I return, take it to Houston on Monday morning.

Yellow Creek Park was a little warmer than the day before - and the humidity had to be so bands and fans alike, had to fight a bit out there today – much higher.The stage was still a hot, hot spot, to work after Mike Snider (whose Show ten o'clock end until about), but the bands, all action remarkable jobs there oben.Mehr later.

This band was fascinating:



Although a member is an American, this bluegrass band Hungary gets home.Es was, I think your first ever occurs in this country, and she seemed totally excited in Kentucky, as close to highlight, the official birthplace of bluegrass music (Owensboro is about 30 miles of Raisin) .you played a little Hungarian music at a point, although the song sounded very Celtic or Irish to my ears.Posted BySam Sattlerat12: 43 AM played

The Internet, and its evolving user experience

The Internet makes you smart. The Internet makes you stupid. The Internet is killing the content industry. The Internet is enabling the content industry. The noise about the good and bad things the Internet is doing is so pervasive, who knows what to believe anymore?

John Naughton at The Guardian takes a good look at the fear and uncertainty surrounding the Internet, and posts a list of nine talking points to consider about the Internet to cut through all the confusion.

It’s a bit long to summarize, but part of it is that we’re still too close to the Internet revolution to see the full extent of the effects it will have on society. Just as it took decades or even centuries for the full impact of the Gutenberg printing press to be realized, it make be years at the least before we know the full impact of the Internet.

Another part is that the Internet was designed from the ground up to be potentially disruptive to the rest of the world. Because it was created only to distribute information and to have no central control, it is essentially, Naughton says,

Will Borders demise help ebooks? LJNDawson thinks so

Laura Dawson of LJNDawson.com seems to think that Borders is not going to make it. In that event, what’s the fallout?

Well, Dawson, and industry consultant, feels that it will be a boost for ebooks:

So in approximately a third of areas previously served by large chains, customers will become quickly accustomed to ordering books online.

How long do you think it will be before they realize that if they order ebooks, they don’t have to wait even 24 hours before they get what they want? How long do you think it will be before instant gratification means that suddenly these underserved areas are hotbeds of ebook consumption?

We’ve seen this sort of leapfrogging happen in underdeveloped areas before

Pindeldyboz folds

Pindeldyboz published my very first published short story, “In Hiding”, back in January of 2004. (Man, that seems like a long time ago.)I’m still rather fond of this story, for sentimental reasons, if not aesthetic reasons. Now comes the news that Pindeldyboz is folding. Says Whitney Pastorek, founding editor:

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Pindeldyboz, we’ve made the decision to shut it down. At some point in the next month or so, therefore, the site will be going dark.

It wasn’t an easy decision in many ways, and in many ways it was. Over the last 10 years, we’ve published a whole lot of stuff by a whole lot of people. It’s been a blast, and we like to think we’ve been an important part of the internet online fiction community — or at least given some great voices a forum in which to shine. In return, Pboz has given us endless creative inspiration. It was something to do that existed outside the mundane tasks of our ordinary lives. It was never a full-time job, we never got paid, we never got famous. But that wasn’t ever really the point.

I’ve not included link because, like she says, the site will soon be dark. I have saved in my story in hmtl, though that will soon cease to matter. I’ll be posting “In Hiding” on my blog tomorrow, so it will have a second internet home. Thank you, Pindeldyboz and Whitney Pastorak, for giving it a first one.

I have postulated that what you write on the internet is forever. Supposedly everything on the internet is being permanent archived by the Wayback Machine and others. So as long as there are digital devices, “In Hiding” will still be out there. This infinitely accessible version is, the theory goes, a good deal better than if it had been published in some obscure literary magazine in the form of a few hundred copies moldering in dusty cardboard boxes, waiting to be pulped. (A couple of my paper-published short stories are currently languishing in this limbo.) I still tend to think that is true, but, you do have to ask, how many people are ever going to query the Wayback Machine for my short story? Besides me and my mom, I mean?

It is worth noting the sea change that has taken place in these short six and a half years. At the time, publishing on the internet was still looked down upon, was thought of as “not real”. Now The New Yorker publishes every short story online, for free, and a new novel is considered DOA if it doesn’t have a Kindle version. For those of us who continue to labor in obscurity, this is mostly a good thing. It’s access, even if of a promiscuous sort.

Finally, I note that it has been something like 4 years since I had a short story published. I was going pretty well there for a while, churning them out and placing them in various places. Then I turned to novels. One manuscript took me two years and, as I can now see, was a resounding failure. I adjudge it to be so, anyway, when I can bring myself to run my eyes over its pages of portentous pretentiousness.

The second manuscript also took me two years, and the jury is out on that one. I’m up to twenty-some rejections by literary agents but I don’t plan on giving up on this one until the rejections run into triple digits. Maybe not even right away then. I feel that if this is adjudged a failure, it will be by agents and their interns, not me. And at that point, I’ll put it out there myself, probably following Marc Horne’s DIY publishing guide. Which is progress, I hope. In 2004 it was still pretty unthinkable, at least to me.

Point being, I haven’t published anything in a long while. Right now, a couple things I’m working on could either be short stories, or the embryos of more novels. I’m sort of torn. Commit another couple years to another manuscript which may never see the light beyond the inboxes of some trusted readers and self-publishing, or aim for a short story which more than likely, will appear on a website which will soon go dark, like Pindeldyboz?

University of California takes a stand against high-priced journals

The Chronicle of Higher Education is reporting that the University is fed up with the incredibly high costs of academic journal subscriptions. This was evidently prompted by a large proposed increase in the subscription fees charged by the Nature Publishing Group.

On Tuesday, a letter went out to all of the university’s faculty members from the California Digital Library, which negotiates the system’s deals with publishers, and the University Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication. The letter said that Nature proposed to raise the cost of California’s license for its journals by 400 percent next year. If the publisher won’t negotiate, the letter said, the system may have to take “more drastic actions” with the help of the faculty. Those actions could include suspending subscriptions to all of the Nature Group journals the California system buys access to

Notes from a family reunion: iPad, vanity publishing

I attended my grandmother’s 95th-birthday-party-cum-family-reunion over the weekend, and took the iPad with me. Consequently, I spent a lot of time demonstrating it to family members and friends, and explaining its features to the curious.

Just about everybody who saw me with the device wondered about it, and I would spend anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes demonstrating it. I have to admit, Steve Jobs is a marketing genius

The Third Rail

is Michael Harvey’s third Michael Kelly novel but my own first experience with the author and his series hero. Kelly is a Chicago ex-cop, a man who still has contacts within the department but knows too much about Chicago politics ever to be tempted back into to the job. He much prefers keeping his hand in the game by offering his investigative services to those Chicago citizens in need of a little private help – even though his work sometimes forces him to spend time with Chicago’s slimy mayor.

This time around, Kelly finds himself directly involved in the hunt for a serial killer who is terrorizing his city via several very successful random shootings. Kelly was at the scene of the first killing and he almost caught the killer in a chase through snow-filled Chicago, only to learn later that the killer was purposely sucking him into the investigation. The question is why.

Harvey knows his city well, and even readers who have never been to Chicago are likely to come away from with a sense of what life is like there for the locals. The book’s pivotal element is, in fact, based on a real life 1977 incident in which several L train cars derailed and fell to the ground, killing eleven people in the process. Michael Kelly, nine years old at the time, survived the crash but is still haunted by what he saw and heard that day. Apparently, he is not the only one.

is a nice blend of thriller and police procedural (Kelly gets himself attached to the official investigation as a consultant while working on the sly directly for Mayor Sleazy) and fans of the genre will likely enjoy the ride despite the spare style in which Harvey spins his tale. So much happens to Michael Kelly as he frantically tries to catch up with the shooter that Harvey has little time to develop his secondary characters – and even some of his more important ones. Perhaps readers of the first two Kelly books already know so much about Kelly and those closest to him that this is not problem for them, but first-time series readers will find themselves wishing they had been told more about the Third Rail characters.

And, as it turns out, there are lots of characters and culprits to keep up with: Homeland Security goons, duplicitous FBI agents, crooked cops, psychopaths, corrupt leaders of Chicago’s Catholic archdiocese, a nerdy computer wizard, a girlfriend, and, of course, Mayor Sleazy. So much happens, and happens so quickly, it is little wonder that the characters remain somewhat unrealistic to the very end.

Reading was a bit like frying up a skinny chicken; I kept wishing for a little more meat on the bones. Genre fans who enjoy a more spare approach to their thrillers, however, will probably love this book. If that’s your taste, give this one a shot.

The Poacher's Son

This is a review of the 7-CD audio book version of The Poacher’s Son, as read by John Bedford Lloyd.

Maine game warden Mike Bowditch is not in a happy place. He believes that his girlfriend of four years left him because he refuses to resign his game warden position. Now that she is gone, all Mike has left are the solitary hours he spends watching for poachers and helping injured animals in his section of the Maine woods. Mike made his choice and is willing to live with it.

Things are bad now – but they will get much worse when he discovers a phone message from his hard drinking poacher father, the man who deserted Mike and his mother when Mike was just a boy. A phone call to his son is so out of character for Jack Bowditch that his son senses that something is terribly wrong. But even knowing what a disaster his father’s life has turned into, Mike Bowditch cannot imagine that he will soon be the only thing standing between his father and the lawmen who accuse him of assassinating a policeman and a paper company executive. Mike refuses to believe that his father is capable of murder and his biggest fear is that, before he can safely surrender, his father will be gunned down by the lawmen searching Maine and southern Canada for him.

The Poacher’s Son explores the strengths and weaknesses of the father-son relationship, a bond that is often strong enough to blind a son to his father’s weaknesses, and worse. Mike Bowditch convinces himself that, despite everything he knows about his father’s despicable behavior and his drinking problems, the man would never do what he is accused of having done. He so much wants to bring his father safely into custody that he is willing to put his own job on the line by interfering in the manhunt despite direct orders from his lieutenant to stay clear of the whole thing. But is his father as innocent as Mike believes him to be? Or, as the authorities believe, is he a killer willing to use his son to cover his tracks until he can escape his pursuers?

The isolated woods of Maine make an excellent setting for Paul Doiron’s story and he gives the reader a good feel for what life in that part of the country must be like. As Doiron describes it, the locale is a mixture of awesome beauty and isolation, a place the locals fear will be spoiled by the outsiders seeking to exploit its resources for their own purposes. Those woods provide Jack Bowditch with the cover he needs to stay on the run and the isolation they create makes possible many of the twists in Doiron’s plot.

Mike Bowditch is a young man, a likeable enough hero who knows his way around the Maine wilderness but is still a little too naïve and inexperienced for his own good. His temper, combined with his inability to control his mouth when he is angry, sees him consistently making things rougher for himself than they have to be. Some of the book’s other characters tend to err on the stereotypical side of the scale, however. This is the case with Truman (the drunken Indian), the retired game warden (and his devoted wife) who takes Mike under his wing when every other lawman within 500 miles would prefer to chew his head off, and B.J., the brash young woman/slut who grew up in an isolated fishing camp known as Rum Pond.

Perhaps these characters seem stereotypical because of the stoic way that John Bedford Lloyd reads the author’s characterizations. For most of the book, Lloyd uses the same steady monotone to present the book, only occasionally changing his voice or inflection to add a little life to one of the characters. Unfortunately, it is only toward the end of the book that Lloyd seems to gain any enthusiasm about the story he is telling, when he does a nice job on the book’s climax.

Despite my misgivings about The Poacher’s Son, Paul Doiron has made me curious enough to wonder how the Mike Bowditch character will evolve over time. I will very likely look at the next book in the series to see how he’s doing.

20 Under 40 : US List vs. UK List


(Illustration from New Yorker magazine - U.S. authors on second list)

Could these be the U.K.'s 20 best authors under the age of 40? According to the Telegraph, they just might be:1 Chris Cleave (b 1973) His first novel, Incendiary, was about a terrorist attack on London and was published on July 7, 2005. The Other Hand (2008), a cross-national thriller set in England and Nigeria, became a word-of-mouth hit.

2 Rana Dasgupta (b 1971) Born in Canterbury, but now lives in Delhi. His first collection of stories was set in a Tokyo airport; his first novel, Solo (2009), was about a 99-year-old Bulgarian chemist.

3 Adam Foulds (b 1974) After writing his verse novel The Broken Word about the Mau Mau rebellion, he wrote his Man Booker-shortlisted study of John Clare, The Quickening Maze (2009).

4 Sarah Hall (b 1974) The author of four novels, the first two of which were set in the early 20th century in her native Cumbria. Her most acclaimed work is The Carhullan Army (2007), about a band of women rebels surviving in a Britain hit by environmental disaster.

5 Steven Hall (b 1975) His debut novel, The Raw Shark Texts (2007) – about a man who loses his memory and tries to create a new identity for himself – unusually lived up to his publisher’s hype.

6 Mohsin Hamid (b 1971) The Reluctant Fundamentalist – a literary thriller about a Pakistani man who may, or may not, be a terrorist – came within a whisker of winning the Man Booker in 2007.

7 Anjali Joseph (b 1978) Her debut novel, Saraswati Park, is published next month. Sharp yet lyrical, the novel, which is set in Bombay, shows the influence of Amit Chaudhuri.

8 Joanna Kavenna (b 1974) Wrote seven unpublished novels before her eighth, Inglorious, was published by Faber and won the Orange new writers prize. Described as “Dostoevsky meets Bridget Jones”.

9 Benjamin Markovits (b 1973) Part way through a trilogy of novels about Byron and his circle, this assured writer has also just published an autobiographical novel, Playing Days, about a professional basketball player in Germany.

10 China Miéville (b 1972) Inspired by horror writers such as HP Lovecraft and Michael Moorcock, his science fiction and fantasy books – including Un Lun Dun for young adults – have legions of fans.

11 Paul Murray (b 1975) His second book, Skippy Dies, a comic novel set in a private boys school in Ireland, was recently described in the Telegraph as “gigantic, marvellous, witty…heartbreaking”.

12 Patrick Neate (b 1970) Won the Whitbread (now Costa) novel prize in 2001 for Twelve Bar Blues, a picaresque novel about New Orleans jazz artists. His most recent work, Jerusalem, deals, like his first novel, Musungu Jim, with European encounters with Africa.

13 Ross Raisin (b 1979) This Yorkshire-born novelist’s first book, God’s Own Country (2008), followed the dark story of a teenage farmer’s son living on the Moors.

14 Dan Rhodes (b 1972) After his second book, Rhodes declared he wanted to give up writing. Luckily for us he carried on with Gold (2007), about a Welsh-Japanese woman living in a coastal cottage, and his most recent book, Little Hands Clapping.

15 Kamila Shamsie (b1973) The author of five novels, mainly set in the Pakistan of her birth. Her most successful work is her latest: Burnt Shadows (1999) follows two families from the Second World War in Japan to the aftermath of 9/11.

16 Zadie Smith (b 1975) Wrote the wildly successful White Teeth while still at Cambridge. Her writing has matured since then, most notably in On Beauty (2005).

17 David Szalay (b1974) Winner of a Betty Trask Prize, Szalay’s The Innocent is told from the perspective of a KGB agent in late Forties Russia.

18 Adam Thirlwell (b 1978) Clever All Souls fellow who published Politics at the age of 25 and since then the Milan Kundera-inspired The Escape (2009).

19 Scarlett Thomas (b1972) The End of Mr Y (2007) was a surprise bestseller about a student who discovers a long-lost Victorian novel.

20 Evie Wyld (1980) After the Fire, a Still Small Voice (2009) was a haunting first novel set on the Australian East coat. I read quite a few books each year that were first published in Britain so, when I first spotted the list, I fully expected to be familiar with at least four or five of the names. At the risk, of exposing the high degree of my ignorance about up and coming writers there, I am going to admit that I only recognized one name...one! I have a nice copy of Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist but it has been in my TBR stack for a long, long time (and it never seems to work its way to the top of the pile).

According to the article (take a look here), the list was put together, at least in part, as a response to a similar list that was published in the U.S. last week by the New Yorker magazine:Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, 32

Chris Adrian, 39

Daniel Alarcón, 33

David Bezmozgis, 37

Sarah Shun-lien Bynum, 38

Joshua Ferris, 35

Jonathan Safran Foer, 33

Nell Freudenberger, 35

Rivka Galchen, 34

Nicole Krauss, 35

Dinaw Mengestu, 31

Philipp Meyer, 36

C E Morgan, 33

Téa Obreht, 24

Yiyun Li, 37

ZZ Packer, 37

Karen Russell, 28

Salvatore Scibona, 35

Gary Shteyngart, 37

Wells Tower, 37I do a little better with the U.S. list (what would it say about me as a reader if I didn't?) by being familiar with Joshua Ferris, Jonathan Safran Foer, Nicole Krauss and Philipp Meyer, still just four of twenty up-and-comers.

The good news, I suppose, is that I now have a couple of good checklists to work from next time I'm looking for something fresh.Posted bySam Sattlerat1:12 PM

The Devil Amongst the Lawyers

marks Sharyn McCrumb's return to her popular Appalachian Ballad series, the books featuring Nora Bonesteel, one of several members of the Bonesteel family gifted with "the Sight." Fans of the series have had to wait longer than usual for the next Ballad novel because McCrumb's last several books have been set in the world of NASCAR, not a setting that appeals to everyone, me included. Can it really have been eight years? Anyway, it is nice finally to have a new Sharyn McCrumb novel for the rest of us.

This one, though, is a little different from earlier books in the series. It is based on a real life 1935 murder trial that took place in Wise County, Virginia, a case that seemed perfectly cast to help big city newspapers turn a nice profit on the crime. A young woman, a pretty schoolteacher who had escaped the hills long enough to earn a college degree, is accused of having bludgeoned her father to death. Now, major East Coast newspapers have sent reporters to little Wise County to milk the story for all it might be worth to them.

Among the reporters in town to cover Emma Morton's trial is Carl Jenkins, cousin to 12-year-old Nora Bonesteel, who is nervously working the first big story of his budding newspaper reporter career. Jenkins, though, is overwhelmed by the approach that his big city reporter heroes are taking to the story. What they are writing about Emma Morton, her family, and life in Wise County only vaguely resembles the truth as Jenkins sees it. Consequently, what Jenkins writes for his own newspaper is so different from what is appearing in the big papers that his own editors begin to wonder if he is really in Wise County at all.

Jenkins, desperately looking for an angle he can exploit well enough to save his job, and hoping that young Nora's second sight can discover the truth about the murder, asks her to come to Wise County to speak with the accused killer. Therein, lies much of the fun of . Longtime readers of the series will delight in meeting Nora Bonesteel before she became the wise old lady they are already know so well.

surprisingly focuses more on the reporters in town to cover the trial than it does on the accused or her victim. McCrumb's main theme, in fact, is that big city reporters (even in 1935) have preconceived notions about small town Southern life and those who live it - and that they will not let facts change their minds. The book's three main characters are New York City reporters, two writers and a photographer, who know the story they will present even before they get to town for the trial. Because the accused is pretty, they will portray her as sweet young woman being persecuted by locals who believe she has grown too uppity for her own good. To sell this version, they will use various writing "tricks," all explained in detail by McCrumb, and will present life and attitudes in Wise County more as if the trial were taking place in 1885 than in 1935.

The whole premise would have worked much better if McCrumb had not been so heavy handed in making her point. Over and over again, she has various characters explain how the truth is being ignored or manipulated by the big city reporters to their own benefit - truth be damned. A little subtlety would have gone a long way in making readers feel that McCrumb had faith in their ability to "get it" without all her extra help. I am, however, so pleased to have a new Ballad novel that I will forgive that little insult. Fans of the series are likely to enjoy this one and hope they do not have to wait so long for the next one.Posted bySam Sattlerat1:12 PM

Mexico City Noir

is a collection of 12 crime-related short stories with settings in the various neighborhoods of Mexico City, from its richest to its poorest and most dangerous ones. The most intriguing idea behind publisher Akashic’s Noir series, of which this book is one of many, is that each collection strives to give the reader a good feel for life in the city in which the stories are set. I did not get much of a feel for the city of Boston when I read Boston Noir (the only other book in the series I have read), but this collection is a different story, pun intended. The tales vary widely in tone and style but they all seem to have one theme at their core: the corrupt police system of Mexico City is more dangerous to the common citizen than the criminals the police are supposedly trying to control.

This collection is unusual in another way. This is one of the rare times that the best thing about a short story collection just might be its preface. Editor Paco Ignacio Taibo II has written a striking description of life in Mexico City in the book’s preface entitled “Snow White vs. Dr. Frankenstein.” Taibo obviously loves his city and he correctly finds it to be an exciting and exotic locale in which to set contemporary Mexican fiction. However,Taibo is quick to describe how life for the average citizen of Mexico City is governed by the ever present reality that the local police are to be more feared than trusted. The stories that follow his preface illustrate just how dangerous local policemen can be and why they are such a threat to those they are paid to protect, even to the point that victims of petty crime are often afraid to report the crime to authorities.

Some of the stories are set in contemporary Mexico City; others go back decades in time. Some are told in a rather straightforward manner, some are a little harder to grasp, and one of them reads like something imagined during a bad trip on LSD. What they have in common is an excellent translation into English and the theme that the real danger in Mexico City is a police force that is so very often itself on the wrong side of the law.

These are stories of police brutality, forced confessions, bribes, rapes and assassinations by police gangs, corrupt priests and nuns, transsexuals, homosexual rapes, gangs of children on the city’s streets, homeless people who dare not stop moving during the day for fear of police harassment, and much worse. Those responsible for promoting Mexican tourism cannot be happy with books like this one because the overall impression it leaves with non-Mexican readers is a warning for gringos to stay the hell out of the city for their own good.

Bottom line, this is pretty good noir style fiction but it is definitely of the more depressing variety.
