Bookmarks List/Bedside Table

Currently reading and enjoying:

• A Cartoonist’s Diary, over at The Comics Journal.
   
• This great article by Alyssa Rosenberg: “‘The Bling Ring’, White Privilege, and the Appropriation of Hip-Hop” at Think Progress. Such a smart analysis of this film! I love  Rosenberg’s point that “The Bling Ring is a movie about anesthetizing yourself through repetition...” It's an interesting, disturbing movie.
   
• The Tiger’s Wife, by Téa Obreht. An entrancing, mysterious, beautifully-written story. I loved how the book looked at the collision of folklore and personal belief...

Don’t forget about the #kettleshriek contest. I’m accepting entries until the July 12th, so make sure to submit your images/Vine videos. I want to give away some copies of the book!



Have a wonderful weekend...
