Welcome to the irregular book review review. Paid subscribers receive links to interesting literary essays, approximately once a month. I will offer a short commentary, either on the essay or the topic. As you can see below, this ranges from recommending modern book culture to internet autobiography to book technology to the best spats between artists to Matthew Perry.

Hypertext autobiography

Heartbreaking account of the first blogger, and a surely under-rated, inventive autobiographer. I loved this essay. Full of compelling detail.
