\u2022 Ray Bradbury was born 100 years ago today. Emily Temple<\/a> expresses surprise that Truman Capote encouraged the publication of a Bradbury short story at Mademoiselle<\/em> in 1946. I’m more surprised that Bradbury was paid $400 for his work; no wonder he was so eager to write for the non-genre magazines. Elsewhere: Ray Bradbury\u2014The Illustrated Man<\/em><\/a>: the BBC’s Omnibus arts strand profiled Bradbury in 1980 with enthusiastic assistance (narrating\/reading\/performing) from the man himself; Ray Bradbury book and magazine covers at Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Anna Smith<\/a> asks whether Linda Fiorentino was the greatest femme fatale ever in The Last Seduction<\/em> (1994). A substantial claim, especially for a neo-noir playing so self-consciously with the theme, but it’s a very good film, and one I’d like to see again.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Bad as a work of art, and morally bad\u2026” Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita<\/em> being reviewed by Kingsley Amis, a writer who preferred the peerless prose and stainless morals of Ian Fleming. Dan Sheehan<\/a> looks at other contemporary reactions to Nabokov’s novel.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Dennis Cooper’s: Mary Ellen Bute<\/a> Day, and (how could I avoid it?) ClicketyClack presents…Brothers Quay<\/a> Day.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More from The Art of the Occult<\/em>: S. Elizabeth<\/a> offers a glimpse of the contents of her forthcoming book.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Make the letter bigger: John Boardley<\/a> on the development of the illuminated capital.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In 1987 Anne Billson<\/a> talked to Nicolas Roeg about his latest film, Castaway<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Five controversial arthouse features from Japanese filmmaker Sion Sono<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 It’s that group again: Joe Banks<\/a> on the strange world of Hawkwind.<\/p>\n

\u2022 C82: Works of Nicholas Rougeux<\/a>.<\/p>\n
