The Litblog Co-op’s Spring 2007 “Read This!” Selection

The blog network I look to for material continues to grow. Today I discovered The Litblog Co-op. They have a great mission statement (see below) and a lovely site with lots of original content, hence they are now added to my blog-roll:

Uniting the leading literary weblogs for the purpose of drawing attention to the best of contemporary fiction, authors and presses that are struggling to be noticed in a flooded marketplace.

Of particular interest today, it appears that they have a quarterly “Read This!” selection and that they have selected Sacco And Vanzetti Must Die! (American Literature Series).

Their review is great and makes the book sound like a ton of fun:

This book is fun to talk about for its sophisticated themes: art & its sacrifices, racial stereotypes and comedy, the line between being a victim of capitalism and deciding to blow things up. But it’s fun to read for its details: pie fights, knife juggling acts, the funeral of Laurence Olivier with the great comedians of the ’20s as pallbearers.

Might be a good future reading selection for The Puget News Reading Group!
