the asylum

My review of Simon Doonan's new book The Asylum is up on the Lambda Literary Review.

Check it out.

The book is fun and dishy.

Also check out Jerome Murphy's review of Frank Bidart's collection of poems Metaphysical Dog, also on Lambda.

Check out Teo Blake's new album Death to Sambo. Really good tracks! A little post about it on Le Chic Batik. Available on iTunes here.

After Tuesday's depressing (though I prepared for the very worst) election results, I found Curtis Sittenfield's (author of the amazing novel Prep) Slate essay on Barack Obama warm and refreshing.

Ricky Martin's memoir reviewed by Gawker.

Frank Bidart was a special guest at last night's Wilde Boys salon. An amazing writer. Read his work here.

Carey Mulligan at the BAFTA's. Love it!
