People handle situations in different ways. Some zodiac signs are dramatic while others love peace. Someone can decide to never visit a salon again after they have a painful experience. Drama is part of life, but some people love exaggerating things. Their dramatic nature repels other signs who prefer addressing differences diplomatically.

An “ultra-rare” $500 bill from the Roosevelt era will be auctioned off in England on Wednesday — and it could fetch more than twice the number printed on its face. 

The 1934 banknote, featuring a stoic portrait of President William McKinley, was part of a big collection of rare US money found in Wales, Hansons Auctioneers told Fox 8 in North Carolina.

Here in the American South, we’re heading into the dog days of the summer, the walk-outside-and-immediately-feel-soaked sort of humidity that slaps visitors right in the face the moment they walk off the plane. “It’s not the heat. It’s the humidity that gets ya!” But sweet tea and sunglasses abound — praises be — and we love our AC around here. So it’s no surprise that every afternoon, I find myself inside, hiding from the heat, a good book in my hands.

In his 2012 book, “Pox,” historian Michael Willrich looked at the politics of vaccination during the last great waves of smallpox in the United States. That’s when he discovered the case files of Harry Weinberger (1886-1944), a young, idealistic attorney who not only represented parents who refused to get their children vaccinated, but defended two of the best-known and most notorious anarchists of the early 20th century: Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman.

This is the first of a trilogy that follows two outcast classmates who befriend each other and end up raising a daughter under unusual circumstances. Truths surface that were meant to be buried forever. This book is part mystery, love story and family drama. It is a fast read, and I cannot wait for the sequels.

The cover of Julie Myerson’s newest release seems to luxuriate in its contradictions. The title Nonfiction, rendered in a jumbo font, dominates the top margin while the only slightly smaller A Novel anchors the bottom. The book, first published in the UK in 2022 and released to American audiences in January of this year by Tin House, is shelved with fiction as per the publisher’s Library of Congress Cataloging data, and indeed the front matter includes a short statement that attests to the work’s fictionality. And yet that title demands speculation—as does the way the novel’s circumstances so closely mimic territory Myerson covered in her 2009 memoir The Lost Child. That book documented the author’s experience parenting her son as he suffered from drug addiction; this one follows a fictional mother as she parents an addict daughter. Writers like Jo Ann Beard, Amy Hempel, and Sheila Heti have long challenged the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction with their work. It is, after all, a brave new nonbinary world, and narrative has as much to gain from spectrums as the rest of us. It’s also fair to say that there’s nothing more tantalizing to readers than a whiff of truth.

A Review of Julie Myerson’s Nonfiction: A Novel

The latest episode of the MSNBC podcast, “Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes Podcast” features a conversation with Brewster Kahle and Kyle Courtney. It runs 57:40. Could the future be completely different? Our guests this week say so. Megapublishers are suing the Internet Archive, perhaps best known for its Wayback Machine, to redefine e-books as legally different from paper books. A difference in how they are classified would mean sweeping changes for the way libraries operate. Brewster Kahle is a digital librarian at the Internet Archive. Kyle Courtney is a lawyer, librarian, director of copyright and information policy for Harvard Library. He’s the co-founder of Library Futures, which aims to empower the digital future for America’s libraries. They join to discuss what’s animating the lawsuit, information as a public good and the consequences should the publishers ultimately prevail.
