Behind the Words at BiblioBuffet
It's a blog. Not just any blog, but one in which you can share some of the goings-on behind each week's issue. We won't tell all but we will share some fun things about the work behind the website.
From the Editor's Desk: Lauren Roberts
Mom and books have both played a large role in Lauren’s life, and she takes a brief stroll down memory lane to visit new feelings arising from those old memories that loom rather large during these times when she and her parents have reversed caregiving roles.
COLUMNS
A Reading Life: Nicki Leone
Growing up wanting to learn about everything and learning that there is a publisher who seems to publish just that was the beginning of Nicki’s journey into the world of Penguin and a book that she terms a “general history in the grand scale model.”
BibliOpinions: Guests
Our guest column is empty this week. Please check back.
Biographology: Carl Rollyson
A complex new biography “restores the life and work of one of the twentieth century’s most important poets,” Carl says, and includes the poem that not only celebrates one of her great subjects but also claims rights as one of the great poems in the English language.
Book Brunch: Lev Raphael
Twenty-two books along in his career, Lev looks at the changes in publishing and the very different lives of full-time authors versus authors ensconced in universities.
Bookish Dreaming: Gillian Polack
Oscar Wilde. Just reading the name conjures up a vast array of images: plays, a book, essays, witticisms, homosexuality, jail, disgrace, and much more. When Gillian was recently asked to write an introduction she decided that an preliminary trip through many of his works was in order.
Literary Amusements
Wise, witty, and sardonic quotes about books and reading plus quirky and interesting literary factoids.
On Marking Books: Laine Farley & Lauren Roberts
Laine found an incongruous bookmark that was not so much interesting for itself, though it had oddly interesting elements, but for its publisher, a manufacturer of political and advertising buttons, lapel studs, and novelty items in the late 1800s, and especially for one of the founders.
Reading the Truth: Katherine Hauswirth
The definition and roots of success and failure are not always what they may seem. In her most recent readings, Katherine explored in depth the story behind one of the most popular songs and singers in twentieth-century America as well as the often unrecognized factors that are involved in both.
Strata of Ephemera: Elizabeth Creith
Elizabeth shares how delighted (and relieved) she was to realize the bogeyman wasn’t real—and didn’t, thankfully, have a place to hide either in her closet or under the bed, the former because she doesn’t have any, the latter because she has filled the latter space with boxes of books.
The Athletic Supporter: Pete Croatto
Checking in with three celebrated sports authors to uncover their perspectives on certain elements in writing books, Pete discovers some wise (and witty) words of advice.
