Not up-to-date, not literary, but this lyrebird clip is quite amazing. I must start reading that Athanasius Kircher Society blog more regularly... (Thanks to Nico.)
I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
Astonishing.
