I love dogs. I love Hamlet. I love novels. I love Oprah. And I love writing. Put them all together and we should have my most favoritest book out there in The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, 2008's most sold (lots of write-ups are saying most "successful," but we readers know that most sales doesn't necessarily mean most success) debut novel. However, I also love editing, and David Wroblewski's editor completely let him down by allowing the novel to swell well beyond the number of pages it needed to be. This is not me being afraid of long books—give me a meaty Rushdie novel any day—but this book needed some trimming, I would say at least 100 pages' worth. But honestly, Wroblewski's debut novel is better than my non-existent one, and I honor him for giving the Hamlet story a go. The good news is that when he speaks at the Free Library, the clock will edit him, though I have no evidence that he himself in the flesh would run on longer than he should. Let's hope he brings his American style of magic realism and willingness to experiment to the Library. If he does, it will be a reading worth seeing.

We are impressed not only by this pup's equilibrioception, but by his infinite patience.

Mario Lanza park has been described as an "oasis" and I'd have to agree. Fences at either entrance mark it off from the rest of the street. Plenty of trees provide cover from the sun and the noise of the city. A dog run located on the southwestern edge of the park lets dogs run free while their owners socialize. The dog run seems to be the place to bring your canine friend in Queen Village. The playing puppies and chatting owners provide a pleasant background hum.

When French peasants stormed the Bastille, they did it with guns. When Eastern State Penitentiary held its annual Bastille Day Festival this weekend, people came armed with cuteness.
