I’m happy to announce my latest Blurb book titled ISTANBUL 13 DAYS. These images were culled from 25 rolls of 120 color film, and 42 rolls of black and white. All photos were shot between January 26 and February 7, 2013 in Istanbul, Turkey. To preview the whole book, click on the link, give it a like, leave a comment, and share it with others.

“Richard Yates” author Tao Lin turned up at the New Yorker party uninvited after hearing about it from attendees (this reporter included), but he was turned away at the door. Mr. Lin said he “wanted to talk to Zadie Smith,” who was invited, because both he and Ms. Smith write their books at New York University’s Bobst Library. (In an email, Mr. Lin said he has “zero hard feelings toward the New Yorker,” adding “I feel bad for causing them inconvenience. Can’t stress that enough.”)
Eventually Mr. Lin, who came with a date carrying a giant leaf, headed to a different hotel—the Standard—for another party, this one attended by writers for Vice magazine.
Ms. Smith, on the other hand, stayed home.
lol.

Sam Harris’ ebook Lying is temporarily available for free download courtesy of the author. Get it while you can. A must read.
Edit: You can also just buy the thing. It costs $2. How cheap are you?

The Orwell Prize - 2012 Long List
Two of my favorite books from this year made the cut: Arguably by Christopher Hitchens and The Price of Civilization by Jeffrey Sachs. I’m also eager to read Douglas Murray’s Bloody Sunday.
