		<description><![CDATA[I wasn't able to finish the piece I wanted for today. Lucky for you, I'm posting a link to an interview that's far better - in almost every possible way - than what I can write for you. This interview of Maurice Sendak by Terry Gross was voted Fresh Air's best interview of 2012, and it's not hard to understand why.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not that it excuses my lack of updates, but I learn much more from the writing I don’t publish online than the stuff I do. That being the case, I hope that everyone who is writing today also feels the right to be selfish about their work. It’s our right. Sometimes, the best thing is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life takes some people to interesting places. For others, like me, it mostly goes wherever you tell it and, if you’re not telling it to go anywhere interesting, it’s not going to try to pull you one way or the other. Right now, I’m unemployed. Scratch that. I’m nominally employed by the company I own: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most interesting thing about a hypothetical nuclear attack probably isn’t what it destroys, but what gets left behind. The BBC docudrama  Threads  takes that premise and runs with it. It’s compelling drama if you’ve never seen it. The use of situational reportage distances the audience from the fictional characters’ stories, but the producers make [...]]]></description>
