On the road; Not fade away

from 21 January 2013 issue of New Yorker:

On the road: "Walter Salles's pleasant but undistinguished adaptation of Jack Kerouac's novel." David Denby

Not fade away: "the movie is a psalm to those who, far from pursuing the path of the Rolling Stones, stayed trapped under a rock." David Denby

World War II writings

A J Liebling. A collection of World War II accounts by the influential journalist and author includes "The Road Back to Paris," "Mollie and Other War Pieces," and "Normandy Revisited," in a volume that also features twenty-nine previously uncollected New Yorker articles.

Hemingway's boat

First I heard of it was a patron asking for it today.

Kirkus: Seven years in the making, this vivid portrait allows us to see Hemingway on the Pilar once again, standing on the flying bridge and guiding her out of the harbor at sunrise. Appearing on the 50th anniversary of Hemingway's death, this beautifully written, nuanced meditation deserves a wide audience. High praise, indeed.
