Linklog: Robert B Parker, David Foster Wallace, and more

If our obituary and news story have not sated your appetite for reading about the late Robert B Parker, detective novelist extraordinary, I can recommend this two-year-old interview by Sam Leith (a big fan) and, to balance it, this note of scepticism from Joshua Glenn . Hamish Hamilton's PDF literary magazine Five Leaves has an issue-long tribute to David Foster Wallace, featuring Zadie Smith and Jonathan Franzen . (I found it via Maud Newton's Twitter-feed, which provides a cheeky subscription-evading link .) • This is a bad time to contemplate a children's book about concealing dolls on a plane . • Remember the " Blakes on a train! " priceless-etchings-concealed-in-old-railway-timetable story? Apparently it keeps happening . "Moral: always look in drawers."
