Photograph courtesy of <em>The Atavist.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read <a href=\"http:\/\/atavist.net\/piano-demon-excerpt\/\">this fascinating story<\/a> on <em>The Atavist<\/em> about Teddy Weatherford\u2014the Count Basie of the East\u2014who would perform on both sides of the Pacific in a white sharkskin suit. He died not long before the end of World War II, and at his funeral, forty thousand Calcuttans mourned his death. These days, he\u2019s often not much more than a footnote in most jazz histories. \u2014<strong>Thessaly La Force<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jason Epstein has always been the most forward-looking of publishers. He invented the trade paperback, cofounded <em>The New York Review of Books<\/em> and the Library of America, and hit on the Amazon model\u2014alas, before there was a Web. At eighty-three, he still explains the business better than anyone. If you want to know how publishing works\u2014and why, increasingly, it doesn\u2019t\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/archives\/2011\/feb\/10\/books-onward-digital-revolution\/\">read his latest<\/a> in the <em>Review<\/em>. \u2014<strong>Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Straining to inject some topicality into my reading, I ferreted out a copy of Amitav Ghosh\u2019s beguiling blend of travelogue, memoir, and anthropological study, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Antique-Land-History-Guise-Travelers\/dp\/0679727833\">In an Antique Land<\/a><\/em>. Calcutta-born Ghosh moves to the Egyptian village of Lataifa where he researches the correspondence of a twelfth-century Jewish Tunisian merchant, while observing the daily lives of his contemporary Muslim neighbors. Although he recognizes the incongruity of his own presence, Ghosh crafts an elegant meditation on the wayward tracks left by history that emphasizes the long, whispered conversation between cultures over those noisier moments of confrontation. Next on the list: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/us.penguingroup.com\/static\/rguides\/us\/border_passage.html\">Border Passage<\/a><\/em> by <a href=\"http:\/\/lailalalami.com\/2010\/quotable-leila-ahmed\/\">Leila Ahmed<\/a>. \u2014<strong>Jonathan  Gharraie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->In general, I don\u2019t particularly like short stories told from the point of view of inanimate objects; I find tales with overt manipulations and twists to be patronizing, and I think there are way, way too many stories about writers. But clearly, it\u2019s the exceptions that prove the rule: John Cheever\u2019s excellent collection <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/World-Apples-John-Cheever\/dp\/0394483464\">The World of Apples<\/a><\/em> includes one story told from the perspective of stomach flab; another where two supposed strangers turn out to be married; and the best, and title story, about a poet protagonist. \u2014<strong>Janet Thielke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo see the love between Law and me \/ turn into two animals gnawing and craving through one another \/ towards some other hunger was terrible.\u201d This crushing morsel from Anne Carson\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/archive\/poem.html?id=178364\">The Glass Essay<\/a>,\u201d a thirty-eight-page poetic montage and mediation on the loss of love, reminded me of a music video I had once seen: Atlas Sound\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/17093791\">Wild Love<\/a>\u201d set to scenes from \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BdfCOCIv_DU\">Dimensions Of Dialogue<\/a>\u201d by Czech surrealist Jan \u0160vankmajer. \u2014<strong>Angela Melamud<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I (almost) haven&#8217;t stopped watching <em>Al-Jazeera<\/em>\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/english.aljazeera.net\/watch_now\/\">incredible live-video stream<\/a> of the protests in Cairo. \u2014<strong>Natalie Jacoby<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read this fascinating story on The Atavist about Teddy Weatherford\u2014the Count Basie of the East\u2014who would perform on both sides of the Pacific in a white sharkskin suit.
