The Telegraph is live at the Telegraph Hay Festival.
The Salon reports on ‘Stephen from Baltimore’s’ attempt to re-write James Joyce’s Ulysees on Twitter:
‘All volunteers need to do is choose a section, or several, from the 18 episodes, structured loosely on Homer’s epic, “then thoughtfully, soulfully, fancifully compose a series of 4-6 tweets to represent that section.”‘
The Guardian’s Digested Read, by John Crace, turns its cutting eye on Jeffery Deaver’s new Bond book, Carte Blanche.
‘On his way out of M’s office, Bond noticed an attractive young agent chatting to Moneypenny. Ding-dong! Stockings or tights? “The name is Bond, James Bond,” he said. “Ophelia Maidenstone,” she replied. “I’ve split up with my fiancee. Would you like to take me out to dinner?” Bond smiled to himself.
