Book Beast from The Daily Beast
Newspaper stand alone book sections are a vanishing species, but news aggregator The Daily Beast just made my week by introducing Book Beast, featuring in-depth coverage of books and authors.
Today, you can see John Patrick Shanley’s Book Bag column, a selection of New & Newly Relevant books, and articles on authors ranging from Linda Fairstein to Adam Gopnik to Salman Rushdie and Norman Mailer. Video clips feature Elizabeth Gilbert, John Grisham and Chuck Klosterman (above).
Leave it to former New Yorker editor Tina Brown to find a way to keep books coverage alive, and to make it sexy besides.
