    Happy birthday to one of my favorite journalists and authors!

    Quoted: Known for his succinct prose and his adventurous life, Ernest Hemingway, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, was born on this day in 1899.

    Jhumpa Lahiri: My Hyphenated Identity - Newsweek World News - MSNBC.com

    Oh I loved this! If you liked this, I recommend this great piece from the New Yorker last year about Indian cooking (based on the sensory details of the memories she had of her mom in the kitchen as a child). It's great because she turns it into a larger story about growing up the child of Indian immigrants...

    Oh yeah, even though she's stunning, she hardly ever has a big happy smile in her author photos... dunno why, it's just a thing I guess...
