L.L. Cool S: Ladies Love Salman Rushdie

On November 28, 2011 By Jason Diamond

Posted by Jason Diamond

It seems that Salman Rushdie has passed up the chance to make a go of it with Courtney Love, and instead is now a “thing” with Social Life Magazine editor-in-chief Devorah Rose. We only care because Page Six told us.

Morning Bites: Hunter S. Thompson treasure trove, Naomi Wolf at OWS, Tim Kinsella, Julian Barnes, and more

Naomi Wolf arrested at Occupy Wall Street. Between beating the crap out of peaceful protestors, arresting Wolf and Cornel West getting cuffed over the weekend, the police seem to be hellbent on making sure that everybody hates them.

On February 26, 2010 By Jason Diamond

The Coen bros are closer to making True Grit a reality.
From The Awl: “It’s safe to say that Eggers is currently the most detested man in American haute-literary circles.” Remember that time a bunch of people wanted to kill Salman Rushdie? He’s gonna write a book about it. Dennis Cooper on Justin Taylor. L Magazine reviews Taylor’s Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever. A literary mystery spot at Lit Kicks. Where all all the Jews in John Hughes’ films?

On October 6, 2009 By Willa A. Cmiel

L Magazine wouldn’t like Tao Lin. Apparently only two people came to one of Lin’s readings at a bookstore in California, and the tiny magazine rejoiced. To contrast, here is what Vol. 1 has said about Lin’s latest novel and publishing imprint.

Another list, The National Book Foundation’s “Top 5 Under 35.”
