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
Lauren hopes that all of BiblioBuffet’s readers have a wonderful week of books.
COLUMNS
A Reading Life: Nicki Leone
Nicki’s bedtime stories are probably not the bedtime stories of many. But perhaps they should be. An author who writes some of the finest stories that may be unusual but are also splendid.
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
What’s it like to find yourself confronted by your own words translated into another language? Are they yours, and if not, can you claim them? Indefatigable book tourer Lev describes what happened to his memoir when it became a German book.
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
With the Memorial Day weekend and holiday barbecues less than two weeks away, Lauren decided to re-visit a cornfield—not for fresh corn but for a story about the history of the development of corn in the form of a bookmark that tells the story of how the ears we eat today came to be.
Reading the Truth: Katherine Hauswirth
Katherine talks about two books that, at least initially, seemed to have little in common except for the pregnant women they featured. Yet as she came to realize that they shared much more—overlapping lives, unexpected discoveries, ashes rising, home rediscovered.
Strata of Ephemera: Elizabeth Creith
When an indefatigable collector of books finds a book she just has to have—manikin?—she, well, gets it. Elizabeth begins with a word then moves into more than she could have possibly bargained for.
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.
