All The Food In The Opening 1/4 of The Middlesteins The opening 1/4, of course, because Photoshop crashed while I was charting the rest of the book and I’m an idiot, so this was my last save point and it is 3:30am and I want to hurl myself out my 2nd story window (that’s a reference to the book — read it!). It’s going in the queue. Spoiler: The pile of food just keeps growing.  The point is, this is a great book, I highly recommend it and it’s coming out in paperback today. What’s more, there is a nice party at Housing Works to celebrate the launch this evening. I’ll be there, engaging in self-loathing partially stemming from the few hours of work on the latter 3/4 of this book-chart I just destroyed. Come say something nice to me, I need it, but more importantly say something nice to Jami Attenberg for writing such a wonderful novel.

approachingsignificance: Visualizing Punishment by Sarah Shannon and Chris Uggen Four decades ago, the United States launched a grand policy experiment. The nation began locking up an unprecedented share of its citizens, increasing its rate of incarceration by more than 400% over the period. I had a chance to see Sarah Shannon’s job talk at my university this past year. She did a great job, and this article gets to some of the points that she was forced to omit because of time restraints.  Check out the article for more graphic representations of incarceration rates.
