• A terrific blogpost by George Hunka about the legendary publisher Barney Rosset and his great Grove Press. I did a q&a with George, who’s also a first-class playwright, back at my old blog: Part One, Part Two.

Of course some of us have been saying these sorts of things (and even putting them into action) for a couple of decades now. But it’s nice to see the ideas start to show up in the MSM, and in such a witty and articulate form.
