Zadie Smith on the rise of the essay. “In the first place, “well-made novel” seems to me to be a kind of Platonic bogeyman, existing everywhere in an ideal realm but in few spots on this earth.” Excellent essay on the similarities and differences between the essay and the novel. From The Guardian.

The uncollected stories of J.D. Salinger.
2009 Walkley Award Winners. Announced last night, here are the winners with links to PDFs of the winning stories.
Mad World, on using melancholy to market war-based video games to men. For a long time now I’ve wanted to write a feature on narrative in video games. This is a good analysis of the marketing side. From Frieze Magazine.
