Paging Elena Whoever
Is it possible to share something with a "maybe don't read this" tag attached? The literary internet has been buzzing today over the moral implications of stripping a writer (and, by association, a human) of their anonymity after this piece on Elena Ferrante was published in the NYRB. Read it or don't read it, but definitely read her work.

Remembering Ray Bradbury
A moving tribute to Ray Bradbury on The Paris Review Daily from his one time fact checker Stephen Andrew Hiltner: "Ray Bradbury, who never went to college and was entirely library educated, had what so many of the sophisticated, MFA-carrying writers today lack: passion, vitality, emotional awareness." Also: Wired has collected a bunch of reminiscences from science fiction writers, including Ursula K. Le Guin.
