Pocohontar

Which words would you banish?

Ben Okri is writing a poem celebrating 2010 on Twitter, to last all of January.

Avahontas. Pocohontar.

Enough with the Jane Austen mashups already.

Books have been banned from all flights by airline Transport Canada in the wake of the foiled Christmas Day attack.

100 years of literary noughtiness.

Book blurb of the week: “…the most pestilential book ever vomited, I think, from the jaws of hell.”

Once again, there is hope yet for the written word.

And to help get you through the first full week of 2010: Student brings a typewriter to class, professor asks him, “Can you mute the sound?”
