I love reading about imaginary books inside of books, imaginary movies inside of books, and any other kind of imaginary text hiding inside a real book. These twisty bits of metafiction make a literary world more textured and mysterious.
The public radio show, To The Best of Our Knowledge, has an entire episode dedicated to metafiction, including interviews with Jorge Luis Borges and Robert Coover--two keystones of my bookshelf. (Thanks, Now What!)
If metafiction isn't your cup of tea, then try something shorter--flash fiction. Five Easy Questions graduate Jeff VanderMeer has a piece in an Amnesty International-sponsored compilation of short short fiction. Check his sample, then dig the book here.
Finally, Barrett Hathcock has a guest essay up at Conversational Reading about the chronological order of Philip Roth's career. It's worth it for this quote alone, a new way of thinking about your favorite writers:
"I for one hold a special fondness for the chronological listing; it’s like seeing the geological strata in a roadcut in some mountain pass."
In the year's strangest literary twist, Oprah managed to get the reclusive Cormac McCarthy to go on her show and discuss his new novel.
From the noir-inspired No Country for Old Men to the Biblical Blood Meridian, this writer has burned his writing in my brain forever. I was at work when Oprah interviewed him, but Ed Park live-blogged the whole thing.
Journerdism reports on a crazy new development in the difficult relationship between print outlets and online communities. The AP is working hard with a web company to build software to track their content--anywhere web writers reprint it.
Bookdwarf gets hooked up. I'm re-reading Zuckerman Bound this summer, and I was very jealous to read this: "You want to look your best when you meet Philip Roth. That’s right, Philip Roth. I was lucky enough to be part of a small group of about 40 people at a party celebrating his upcoming Fall Book Exit Ghost. We met at Cafe Gray in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle."

I think most Iraninans know this story as we studied it at school at an early age. It makes me so proud to see this story written in another language so that the knowledge and wisdom is introduced to peoples of other tongues and cultures. It makes me even more proud because the person responsible, is me dear dear school friend Susan.
