The Right Way to Do Wrong: A Unique Selection of Writings from History’s Greatest Escape Artist, Harry Houdini

I bet Teller bribed her into doing this one.

Bribed, tricked, or hypnotized? Note: the face is reversed. I suspect foul play.

Oh man. How did that slip past me? There is something sinister about all of this.

Lest we stray too far from the thing that is paying me to post these photos, remember, we’re bringing Jean Cocteau’s marvelous memoir The Difficulty of Being back into print this month.

New book just showed up at the office.

Second novel, long out of print, by Mary McCarthy, author of The Group.

Introduction by Vivian Gornick. Get it from your local indie here.

A Poem for My Wife

Forgive me
But I have eaten
The fancy yogurts
That were in the refrigerator
Which you were no doubt saving
For some future lunch.
