It\u2019s hard to keep one\u2019s cool with clowns on the national prowl. But Stephen King, who knows from psychotic clowns, has offered a public-service announcement: do not fear the clowns, America. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/oct\/06\/clown-sightings-stephen-king-it-pennywise\" target=\"_blank\">King\u2019s clown creation, Pennywise, has terrified readers since he appeared in his novel <em>It\u00a0<\/em>in 1986<\/a>. \u2018There was a clown in the stormdrain. The light in there was far from good, but it was good enough so that George Denbrough was sure of what he was seeing,\u2019 writes King \u2026 But despite his own contribution to\u00a0coulrophobia\u2014the fear of clowns\u2014King has urged his millions of followers on Twitter not to worry about the rash of sightings across the U.S. \u2018Hey, guys, time to cool the clown hysteria\u2014most of em are good, cheer up the kiddies, make people laugh,\u2019 he wrote.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Publishers: it\u2019s time to stop pretending that your short-story collections are novels just so you get better sales. The <em>Goon Squad<\/em>\u2013ization of the story collection is a complete and utter sham, Michael Deagler writes: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.themillions.com\/2016\/10\/dont-call-it-a-novel-its-been-here-for-years.html\" target=\"_blank\">When reviewing a linked collection, a reviewer will sometimes (bafflingly) simulate confusion as to whether the book is a collection or a novel or <em>something in between<\/em><\/a> \u2026 It is far easier to publish a novel these days than a collection of short stories, so much so that many pragmatic writers have essentially abandoned the form. Fantastic short-story writers end up spending their careers producing middling novels, and our literature is poorer for it. So in those rare cases when a short-story collection does manage to be published (and reviewed and sold and read by a large number of people), to deny that collection its genre\u2014to call it a novel, as though the world really needs <em>another\u00a0<\/em>novel\u2014is to rob the medium of short fiction of a hard-earned victory.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>While we\u2019re wagging our fingers, might as well give the lie to this whole \u201cliterary pilgrimage\u201d nonsense. Here\u2019s Maia Silber: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicbooks.org\/\/blog\/the-belle-and-the-bard\" target=\"_blank\">We praise great literature as \u2018universal,\u2019 able to transcend space and years<\/a>. Yet literary fame has us traveling back to the place where an author lived and worked, or awaiting the arrival of an old book whose basic contents we can easily and fully access any number of ways. Don\u2019t Shakespeare\u2019s words read as sweet in paperback? Is Dickinson\u2019s house a fairer one than Possibility? \u2026 Literary tourism\u2014whether the site\u2019s a sham or a study in historical accuracy\u2014might not help us understand the literature we cherish.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Anna Altman diagnoses the truly terrifying thing about migraines: they\u2019re symptoms only of themselves. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nplusonemag.com\/online-only\/online-only\/every-body-goes-haywire\/\" target=\"_blank\">A migraine, writes Oliver Sacks, has \u2018the essential features of\u00a0<em>being ill<\/em>\u2014of trouble in the body\u2014without actual illness\u2019<\/a> \u2026 My colleagues try to understand. One sees me crying in the bathroom and tells me it will only make the headache worse; she holds me by my shoulders until I can control my sobs. Another tells me I need to do more yoga, that it\u2019s stress that\u2019s getting to me. Others ask me again and again if the doctors have figured out what\u2019s wrong. It\u2019s inconceivable to most people that\u00a0<em>this is it<\/em>\u2014there is no other, underlying condition. The headaches are the condition itself.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>There are many ways to learn the art of fiction\u2014perhaps one of the more underrated methods is to watch as one of your parents lives out an elaborate lie. It worked for John le Carr\u00e9. Ian Buruma writes, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/le-carres-other-cold-war\/\" target=\"_blank\">One of le Carr\u00e9\u2019s great strengths as a novelist is his gimlet eye for the nuances of dress, speech, and manners that distinguish such institutions and that marked off England\u2019s upper classes<\/a> \u2026 He views the world with the sense of wonder that goes with being an observant child who feels like an interloper in the schools and institutions that he is compelled to be part of \u2026 \u00a0Living with a con man\u2014some of whose secrets the young boy found out by literally spying on his father\u2014taught le Carr\u00e9 the art of make-believe (such as pretending at school that his father was a wartime secret agent when he was in fact a black marketer). \u2018I remember the dissembling as we grew up,\u2019 le Carr\u00e9 writes, \u2018and the need to cobble together an identity for myself, and how in order to do this I filched from the manners and lifestyle of my peers and betters, even to the extent of pretending I had a settled home life with real parents and ponies.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in clowns: you may have heard about the rash of nefarious clown sightings we\u2019ve faced here in the contiguous United States.
