Some (Possibly Stale) Links
- William T. Vollmann has a new book out, Riding Toward Everywhere about riding freight trains. In what must be a first for Vollmann, the Washington Post describes the book as a "modest little volume."
- The New Yorker held a contest to reinterpret Eustace Tilley, its "iconic dandy." The entries are posted on Flickr.
- The anxiety brought on by selling books to the used bookstore.
- The Atlantic website goes free. Everything back to 1995 is available.
- n+1 interviews a hedge fund manager. It's surprisingly fascinating (if you skim the technical stuff).
- Also in the world of big money, a record was broken on Monday. As global markets plummeted, French bank Societe Generale was selling frantically. The bank had just discovered that an employee had fraudulently lost $7.2 billion, believed to be the most ever by a "rogue trader."
