Compliments to whoever dropped Rita Pavone’s "Datemi un Martello" onto the Venice party playlist in @Netflix's #Ripley. If Tom had been listening closely we would have seen him flinch! Datemi un martello Che cosa ne vuoi fare? Lo voglio dare in testa A chi non mi va, sì, sì, sì

Tomorrow, Sat. 5/13/23, 11:00, I’ll be at @booksaremagicbk Montague St., Brooklyn, for a space-themed storytime. Molly Webster will read from Little Black Hole, and I’ll read from Moonshot. (An excerpt? Probably. It’s a long book!) I hope to see some of you there! @SimonKIDS

What a confusion and bottleneck these MetroCard machines make for people trying to hurry their way to @JFKairport via the AirTrain. And those are the machines that are working! There’s got to be a better way, @PANYNJ.

Charles Portis coverage alert! @cncep for @NewYorker. Omits mention of the argument in The Dog of the South about who invented the clamp (Dr. Wooten, or the Sumerians?) but otherwise an excellent piece! newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

The Oddballs and Odysseys of Charles Portis

In “True Grit,” and other novels, Portis displayed a genius that went beyond character in the strictly literary sense.
