Hard news. Russell Banks reached his peak just as I was beginning to read seriously. Continental Drift, Affliction, The Sweet Hereafter, Rule of the Bone, Cloudsplitter, and The Angel on the Roof are foundational works for me. What an incredible writer. https://t.co/wjpK9KhCj6

Then, at @circlecinema on 10/24, @heirloomrustic will debut their Cormac McCarthy-inspired beer (Blood Orange Meridian!), followed by a screening of "No Country for Old Men," then @MagicCityBooks will provide copies of McCarthy's new novel, The Passenger. https://t.co/4OXMhJBSNv

@PeteRicketts For those playing along at home: the amendment proposed requiring that the president certify to Congress that "that Iraq, Israel, and other United States partners" had been consulted before officially deauthorizing the use of military force in Iraq. It was defeated 31-65.

@myafrazier @candice_millard And I told Mya that I thought Destiny of the Republic was among my favorite history books of all time. But now, I want to pass that along to you, too!

@tonytost Then again, I was born in Lubbock just as Don Williams, Waylon Jennings, Mac Davis, & Terry Allen were all making it big. And my dad played Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash records until the grooves wore out. I was 10 years old before I knew that there was music besides Outlaw Country

All the professional book reviewers out here complaining about the weirdness of the new Cormac McCarthy novel are cracking me up. You’ll probably want to steer clear of Child of God. And Blood Meridian. And all the others.

I'm teaching a Magazine Writing class this Spring at @utulsa, starting with John Hersey's "Hiroshima." Every time I re-read this sweeping but intimate piece, I'm reminded of just how astonishing both the reporting and writing are. https://t.co/AXEz1QDWx2
