Career Authors
"Read, read, read. Read everything—trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master." --William Faulkner

Cool lineup of literary villains in a LitHub March Madness sudden death tournament.

Sure, you can't include them all, but what about #Faulkner??? Flem Snopes of The Snopes Trilogy (The Hamlet, The Town, The Mansion), Buck Hipps of The Hamlet, Thomas Sutpen of Absalom, Absalom!? And most of all, Jason Compson of The Sound and the Fury!

What other literary villains would you add?

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: "You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore." — William Faulkner

Good Books Now In The Public Domain

In addition to being the first day of the New Year, January 1 is also known as Public Domain Day, when titles previously under copyright enter the public domain in many countries, including the U.S.

This year’s titles include a host of good books by some authors you might have heard of including William Faulkner, Earnest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Dashiell Hammett, Thomas Wolfe, Sinclair Lewis, Edith Wharton and Mahatma Gandhi among others.

Standard EBOOKS is celebrating by providing links to twenty of the titles available to download in different formats that should work with most ebook readers.

These book titles, were first published in 1929. I won’t get into the length of copyrights and all the issues surrounding that, but instead say this is an interesting collection of works, some early or first works by some of the authors listed above.

Keep in mind that on Public Domain Day a number of titles in other media also entered the public domain. Duke University publishes a more extensive, but not complete list that includes titles of plays, movies, characters, music compositions, art, and sound recordings. The date for sound recordings is 1924 and includes Rhapsody In Blue by George Gershwin.

You can find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.
