SARAH BOXER presents Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks from the Wild Web
Harvard Book Store is pleased to host Cantabrigian author and former New York Times critic and reporter SARAH BOXER. She will be joined by Megan Sullivan of Bookdwarf.com and the Boston Phoenix's Sharon Steel in a conversation about blogs, those who write them, and why we read them. Sifting through the blogosphere, (there are more than 80 million blogs on the Internet—and counting), Boxer manages to dig up some masterpieces along the way. Among the bloggers in the anthology are: - two fashion critics mocking the inexplicable “fugliness” of celebrities
- a Marine Corps lieutenant stationed in Fallujah in 2006
- a 19-year old student in Singapore cheerfully pining for her ex
- Odysseus’s sidekick telling his side of the Iliad and Odyssey
- an editor of American dictionaries who picks apart the freshest words of the day
Revealing and deceptive, grand and niggling, worldly and parochial, these blogs make up a snapshot of life on the wild, wild Web.
