It ain&#8217;t going to save the newspaper biz, but it is going to change book publishing&#8212;in a good way, in my personal opinion.  (Operative word &#8220;change&#8221; not &#8220;save.&#8221;)  Who cares about paper.  Bring on the literary downloads.
Okay, now onward to USC to teach.  (Must stop obsessing.)

Saturday night, one of California&#8217;s best known small literary presses, Red Hen Press, had it&#8217;s annual Christmas party at the home of editor/poet Kate Gale and publisher Mark Cull (who also happen to be married to each other, which is handy).
It is a party that I always try to attend.   For one thing, [...]]]></description>

Okay, here&#8217;s the deal: 
The LA Times is being disemboweled.  California doesn&#8217;t have a budget.  Wildfires have attacked Big Sir and Yosemite (and fire season hasn&#8217;t even started yet).   The economy&#8217;s in the toilet.   Los Angeles is still the gang capital of the world. And LAUSD is&#8230;.still LAUSD.

Evidently  in addition to falsifying the narrative, author Margaret Seltzer set up a [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be on Patt Morrison&#8217;s KPCC show (89.3 FM) at around 2 pm talking about the story that broke in the New York Times this morning about a &#8220;memoir&#8221; titled Love and Consequences by Margaret P. Jones.
