Naturally this kept me from reading O\u2019Hara&#8217;s novels for twenty years. Then last week I picked up <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780099518334\" target=\"_blank\">Butterfield 8<\/a><\/em>, the 1935 story of a young woman who steals a fur coat after a one-night stand. Rarely has such a good book had such a bad ending. If not for the last ten pages, you\u2019d have to call it a great book, with an unforgettable heroine, frank insights into sex and sexual abuse, a vivid picture of New York during Prohibition, and panning shots that prefigure William Gaddis. (Yes, great dialogue too.)\u00a0<strong>\u2014Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At a library sale, I found a box set of Ursula K. Le Guin\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780441011247\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Earthsea<\/em> trilogy<\/a> in pristine condition. The spines weren\u2019t even broken on the slim, stiff paperbacks, and I wondered whether the previous owner had even read them. But that\u2019s all I\u2019ve been doing the past week, and I\u2019m ready to cast aside familial obligations, work responsibilities, holiday demands, and whatnot if they come between me and these books.\u00a0<strong>\u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As this internship cycle Christmas-revels itself to a close, I\u2019ve been reflecting on a substance that consumes much of our time and is in turn consumed by us: coffee, an addiction that I\u2019ve long cherished and an office obligation that I happily embrace. But ever since Nicole Rudick called my attention to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laphamsquarterly.org\/roundtable\/roundtable\/the-pleasures-and-pains-of-coffee.php\" target=\"_blank\">this essay<\/a> by Balzac, I\u2019ve been conflicted. Balzac\u2019s potent and dubiously potable formula for \u201canhydrous\u201d coffee seems both heroic (as it makes \u201cideas quick-march into motion like battalions of a grand army\u201d)\u00a0and poisonous (as it \u201cbrutalizes these beautiful stomach linings as a wagon master abuses ponies\u201d). But if this essay doesn\u2019t leave coffee drinkers feeling particularly healthy, it does make us feel that we are confronting life with greater intensity than feeble green tea\u2013types, and that we are consequently awesome. I find no fault.\u00a0<strong>\u2014Samuel Fox<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I still remember the airy sense of expurgation I experienced after my fermented baptism.\u00a0From the first sip of Pappy Van Winkle 20, I knew what I\u2019d call it forevermore: \u201cGod\u2019s Whiskey,\u201d an appellation that has stuck with anyone who samples this magical bourbon in my presence. It is the only spirit in any category to ever receive a perfect one hundred rating from the notoriously harsh Beverage Tasting Institute. The only catch is that its minuscule production numbers, combined with the fact that every dirty hipster from here to Portland wants a piece of the pie, means that it\u2019s a liquor unicorn almost never seen in the wild. But if you find it, your Christmas shopping is clearly finished. Getting Pappy as a gift is like receiving a \u201cbest of\u201d collection of Southern literature. It has the smooth, easy pleasure of Twain, the intoxicating complexity of Faulkner, and the twisted spiciness of O\u2019Connor, all in one easily portable bottle. It may be a tautology, but it\u2019s a real reading man\u2019s whiskey. <strong>\u2014Graham Rogers<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By chance, the other novel I&#8217;ve been reading\u2014<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/A-Pin-See-Peep-Show\/dp\/0312611803\" target=\"_blank\">A Pin to See the Peepshow<\/a><\/em>, by F. Tennyson Jesse\u2014is another 1930s novel about a rebellious young woman whose exploits land her in the papers, nowhere near the marriage page. (Both books were inspired by <em>faits divers<\/em>.) This is great, late, pop naturalism. It sweeps you into the life and mind of an artistic shopgirl in London during and after World War I, trying to claw her way out of dreary Chiswick: from the bus ride to school on page one, I was hooked.\u00a0<strong>\u2014L.\u2009S.<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I asked my college advisor how I could learn to write dialogue like Raymond Carver, he told me to study a real master: John O\u2019Hara.
