This Week in Books Susan Sontag visits Sephora

Roxane Gay wrote an excellent piece on the feminist novel. She has been battling haters on Twitter all week long, so read and enjoy and send positive vibes.

UCLA has made Susan Sontag's entire digital archive available online, including the entire contents of her Mac Book and her e-mail account. She was on Sephora's customer listserv, so there's that. I am going to waste so many hours on this.

Karen Russell's short story collection St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised by Wolves is going to be adapted by ABC into a tv show. Obviously it will focus on the titular story. Perhaps this will finally give me the motivation I need to read the book.

Earlier this week I posted on Katherine Howe's new book The Penguin Book of Witches, and she did an interview with The Toast that you might enjoy if you're interested in the book.
