Report from Libertopia, Part 10
One of the interviews I did at Libertopia, this one with John Bush of RiseUpRadio, will be going out live tomorrow on KDRP, sometime between 7 and 10 a.m. Central. If, like me, you’re either in bed, at work, or in frantic transition from one to the other during that period, I imagine it’ll eventually be archived here. More info here.

The Leopard and the Mermaid
I recently finished Lampedusa’s The Leopard, a book I’ve been meaning to read for years. My edition comes with some bonus features at the end, one of which is a short story titled “The Siren.”
I was struck by how much “The Siren” seemed (in plot and theme, not in style) like a mashup of two stories by H. G. Wells, The Sea-Lady (about which I’ve previously blogged) and “The Door in the Wall.” I suspect the similarity is not a coincidence – because Lampedusa explicitly has his narrator note with surprise the main character’s bookshelf of H. G. Wells works.
