    In "The Writing Life," Annie Dillard advises would-be writers to find their bone, the thing that drives them to write, and to work as closely to that bone as possible. Dillard also instructs writers &#8212; with another corporeal metaphor &#8212; to work as closely along the nerve as possible.

    A new biography of the Polish war correspondent Ryszard Kapuscinski alleges that he frequently forged details, invented images and claimed to have witnessed events that he didn't, in fact, witness. Gerald Posner resigned from the Daily Beast after admitting that he had lifted sentences from a Miami Herald editorial, a Miami Herald blog, Texas Lawyer magazine and a health journalism blog; Posner blamed the "warp speed of the net" and his "master electronic files system."

  5. In 'Lark and Termite,' Jayne Anne Phillips continues to explore human vulnerabilities and the lasting effects of war on memory

    Falling in love with a writer requires commitment; the long haul, thick and thin. They get old, you get old. The relationship waxes and wanes. Most readers can recall times of perfect synchronicity -- when the book was the necessary enzyme, the catalyst, the missing piece. "Black Tickets," Jayne Anne Phillips' first collection of stories, published in 1979, was, for more than one earnest English major, such a book.

  11. A rumination on books not yet read

    Sometimes I wonder how many books I've read in my four decades. Thousands, anyway &mdash; maybe tens of thousands &mdash; since the first one, about a choo-choo, when I was not quite 3. Right up to Anne Carson's &ldquo;Autobiography of Red,&rdquo; finished yesterday, a book that had sat mocking me on my bookshelf for 12 years, now at last passed over that invisible boundary between books I have read and books I intend to read, someday, as soon as I finish this one, and this other one, and these.&nbsp;
