Much the same way a drunk in recovery faces up to the person that they’ve been." And now? "Part of what the re-release does is allow me to celebrate it along with everyone else. And to reclaim it, to some extent."

Agggh. Michael Chabon was in town this weekend and NO ONE TOLD ME. For some reason, I’m not on Congregation Beth Israel’s press contact list. Chabon spoke on Sunday as part of Beth Israel’s 150-year anniversary lecture series; the always illuminating Art Scatter has the scoop: His lecture was sweet and funny and autobiographical, pausing to take in the usual subjects that bedevil parents, especially fathers -- the way they so easily a... more

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram profiles the Hold Steady .
What grabs listeners is Finn’s ability to compose trenchant lyrics worthy of short stories or character-driven films, in essence applying an engaging, tightly focused literary sensibility to the blue-collar, beer-numbed aesthetic of rock ’n’ roll.

As I stated in Gabe Soria’s Largehearted Boy Book Notes essay for Life Sucks , I found this graphic novel refreshingly different.
