http://zoeferraris.blogspot.com/2011/07/frankly-my-dear-you-dont-give-damn.html
Thursday, July 14, 2011. Frankly my dear, you don't give a damn. People are always asking me what my favorite books are, and for some reason I feel like answering that today. With certain exceptions, I dislike books where the author has ever posed with a cat. He who resembles Hannibal Lecter. Some books just appeal to a high percentage of everyone, even if a lot of them won’t admit it. (“Yes, I read the Da Vinci Code. SUCH bad writing. How on earth did he get published? I mean, the clichés! 1 - Most of t...

Tuesday, June 4, 2013. The Silver Tattoo: an Interview with Laura Bentley. Between 2000 and 2004, I belonged to a writer's group, the Rogues, that had a dramatically positive influence on my writing.

Monday, May 14, 2012. This morning I recommended a book on NPR. The Fortunate Pilgrim" by Mario Puzo. If you've ever wondered why there are no good women in "The Godfather", it might surprise you to discover who inspired Don Corleone. If you have a favorite literary matriarch, go to the comments section of the NPR piece and let me know who it is. We'll get our matriarchs together and see who rules.

Monday, October 7, 2013. We Need More Spooky. You know how physicists say ludicrous things? For example: An electron can be in two places at once. Or: With enough gravity, you can bend space. We fiction writers rely on this stuff. (Thanks guys.). But, do you ever notice how biologists DON’T do this? In 2001, Nobel prize winner Paul Nurse predicted that biology was about to go through a revolution. Similar to the one experienced in physics a hundred years ago. One guy, Dr. Fritz Albert Popp, dared to ...
