The Round-up

Here are five fun stories that came across my desk recently that I thought I’d share.

1. Lucia Berlin · Love, Lucia: letters to August Kleinzahler – London Review of Books

I only discovered Lucia Berlin’s writing comparatively recently, but I’m continually delighted by it, and these letters are no exception.

2. What I Learned From Pretending to Be a Pretentious Lit Bro for 5 Years – Literary Hub

Hilarious, and exactly what it says on the tin.

3. The poet laureate of Amazon – The Story

This is a crazy, meta, quasi-literary story that really needs to be read to be believed.

4. Poetic simplicity: Ernest Hemingway's favourite meal – Far Out Magazine

And I can imagine him eating it, too,

5. Top 10 books by neglected female thinkers | Philosophy books – The Guardian

Many fascinating, important ideas hidden in these oft-overlooked pages.
