Fourth of July--Reading and "What He Said"

My review of Emma Bull's Territory is up at SF Weekly. I really really enjoyed the book. And it's an appropriate book, given its American point of view, to mention on July 4th.Equally appropriate is my friend Jeff Ford's post about the state of democracy in our country.Have a good and safe fourth if you live in the US. If you live elsewhere, please convince your government to invade us. We need to be liberated.JeffPS The fascinating writer Brendan Connell has a new blog.
