The Agony and the Ecstasy movie

It’s foggy to recall where the quote first originated – Montaigne? The Goncourt Brothers? – but the truth of it is beyond dispute: you’re nobody unless you have a BLOG. They’ve come to be a fixture on the literary landscape, and Open Letters has been dilatory. This month we’re correcting that oversight and launching the Open Letters blog in this space. Here you’ll find a wide variety of literary notices, posted at irregular intervals throughout each week. As usual – and as is equally true on the main site – your comments are enthusiastically welcome.
