This may be too dark for some of you to listen to during the workday, but someone recommended this interview with Meghan Daum to me and I'm finding it really fascinating. Pairs great with her recent Believer essay (although it's not available online now due to the McSweeney's SOPA blackout) "Haterade."

This is a totally dismissable opinion, but I can't read anything by her objectively after she trashed Salinger during his litigation of that Catcher sequel published in the UK shortly before he died. Would like to see that Nightly News clip she mentions being in, though.
I didn't remember that column but I went back to dig it up (it's here if anyone else is curious) and... I can't disagree with you. It's not a very strong argument and veers into the "But clearly he's crazy, so..." instead of making an actual case, even though I think I agree with her overall point. I guess I'll have to see that as an exception to what I see as the incisiveness of most of her columns.
