A week in Linklog

• Some aspects of writers' characters: Milan Kundera, glamorous annoyance ; Jim Thompson, weirdo ; O Henry, relic of a less conscribed literary culture . • Some embarrassments, which the writers involved may nonetheless find are useful publicity: having your graphic novel version of Ulysses banned on the iPad ; having your work recommended for National Bathroom Reading Week . • Some treasures: a great Karel Capek novel back in print; a clear explanation of the advantages of online critism; beautiful Czech illustrations to Gulliver's Travels ; a good bookshop . • These literary links appear daily, and sometimes more frequently, in Linklog's panel on the side of the books blog front page , on a Delicious feed and on Twitter . And I welcome recommendations via Twitter , Delicious or email .
