Grasping for the Wind

Cup O'Links

Lots of interesting stuff going on the web lately.

Check out Michael Stusser's (author of the Dead Guy Interviews) interview with George Washington. Washington debunks the cherry tree myth, and the explains what was up with the wooden teeth!

Joe Abercrombie opines on the nature of maps in fantasy fiction.

Jason at Dragonmount describes Robert Jordan's funeral, including some pictures of his home and workspace.

Jerry Spinelli, author of Maniac Magee, answers a few kids' questions at Powell's books. If you are a child of the 80's you remember having to read that book about the kid who is always running. I get tired just thinking about it.

Ursula K. LeGuin has an excellent tongue-in-cheek story/essay on genre fiction.
