A Local Row: September 2008
http://alocalrow.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 11, 2008. Tiny House, Big Message. I've written about Iowa City message man Gregory Paul Johnson and his Small House Society before. Now it seems he is taking his show on the road with his tiny-house bromantic partner Jay Shafer, who's been on Oprah talking mini-mansions. The New York Times just did a write-up of their road trip. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Everyone Loves Magical Sarah. My story on Sarah Prineas got reprinted with some updates. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Unaccosto...

A Local Row: January 2009
http://alocalrow.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Worst Week. Ever. As if news about the economy weren't bad enough. As if the stories of the paradigm shifts in book publishing. Weren't bad enough. As if the possible demise of my favorite books publication. Weren't bad enough, John Updike died yesterday. A man who came this close (fingers pinched) to turning me off books, an impossible curmudgeon who was convinced that no interpretation of Winesberg, Ohio. Saturday, January 10, 2009. Story in the Iowan. My apartment is infes...

A Local Row: October 2008
http://alocalrow.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. I haven't read the reviews of Marilynne Robinson's new novel. Yet since I've been writing one myself for. A new(ish) arts and culture website run by Iowa City publisher Loren Keller. Loren has been so kind to let me write about books for the site, and has started me off with Iowa City's grand dame of fiction, who has written a follow-up to her Pulitzer prize-winning epistolary novel. My new Robinson rankings are 1). Monday, October 20, 2008. Who doesn't love a good brand war?

A Local Row: The next big thing in bookselling: Me
http://alocalrow.blogspot.com/2009/02/next-big-thing-in-bookselling-me.html
Monday, February 16, 2009. The next big thing in bookselling: Me. I was hanging out at Cannon Beach Book Company on the Oregon Coast this weekend when a couple walked up to the cashier to ask about the new Widow Clicquot bio. No one had read it. Here's what I told them:. I also warned them that the book is 2/3 text, 1/3 research references. I felt kind of cheated when I got to page 198 of 300 and realized I was done. Let us know when you want to come by for a signing. February 16, 2009 at 10:28 PM. Febru...

Wednesday, December 31, 2008. You Will Enjoy Great Book. Not sure how I missed the publicity blitz surrounding the publication of one of my favorite New York Times' reporter's first book. As my features writing students will remember, Jennifer 8. Lee. Is also author of my favorite example of a trend piece, "The Man Date.". Her new-ish book is The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food,. And it begins, fittingly? Inaccurate Iowa stereotypes aside. this book is a rollicking ...

A Local Row: August 2008
http://alocalrow.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2008. Bad Blogger. Bad, bad blogger. I do have a good excuse for being so lazy. I have spent the last three weeks working on assignment at a German summer camp in Bemidji, MN where I had little access to the outside world. I'm working on a major piece of reporting about the camp, where kids ages 8-18 learn German in an immersion setting that is one part Germany, one part Minnesota's North Woods, and one part fantasy world. Here's the other news. We're homeless. So we have moved our s...

http://alocalrow.blogspot.com/2009/02/lovely-bones-author-coming-to-iowa-city.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Lovely Bones author coming to Iowa City. I first read The Lovely Bones. In the fall of 2002, at a time when I was living in Germany and didn't want to be. I had just fallen in love, I had just moved half a world away from my future husband, and I was really bummed out from having just read The Corrections. Well, Alice Sebold is coming to Iowa City.
