Weekend reads: Week of July 23, 2023

Here's a collection of literary posts that we didn't have a chance to share on our reader blog this week.

• The kidnapped child who became a poet (The New York Times)

• How Supreme Court justices make millions from book deals (The New York Times)

• On The Legend of Zelda as ecofiction (The Los Angeles Review of Books) 

 

From authors' perspectives:

• I can't offer up my culture for consumption (Electric Literature)

• You don't need to suffer to make art, but it can help (Electric Literature) 

These two pieces look interesting, but they do require subscriptions: 

• The wrath of Goodreads (The Atlantic) 

• The case for public reading as a social activity (The Financial Times)
