Mixing it up ...

... Patrick Kurp's post `Not a Mini-Canon' links to D.G. Myers's Best American fiction, 1968–1998. Patrick has more to say in `One is Not Compelled to Choose Sides' and Myers has much more in a post today: On reading narrowly (hat tip, Dave Lull.)

This is litblogging at its best. Myers says that "identity by birth is a criterion of literary judgment that I thoroughly reject." Me, too. I suspect Patrick does as well. I read what I bloody well please without regard to the author's race, gender, or whatever.
