One: Two pieces on the late J.G. Ballard: the first, an appreciation from Martin Amis, comes via Nick Antosca; the other is a 1996 interview with Ballard appearing now on HTML Giant. (An earlier Amis piece on Ballard is collected in Visiting Mrs. Nabokov, and comes highly recommended.)

Two: Shane Jones and Blake Butler, in conversation at Powell’s on writing, promotion, the internet, and other topics of myriad interest.

Three: Alan Jacobs on “URLs for books” — essentially, attempting to use technology to allow readers of different editions of the same work to share a common ground.
