Here are a few articles I read and liked this morning:
The inevitable New Yorker analysis of Ryan Murphy. Not sure I agree on all points, but certainly a well-argued defense of his work.
A critique of Sherman Alexie's latest book as overly simplistic, and lacking real substance about the reality of life as a Native American. I would rebut by saying almost all famous comedians are self-loathing and repetitive - I mean I love him to death, but almost every point made in this essay could also apply to Woody Allen...
The Making of the Chronic. No explanation necessary.
Not an Onion story! The rice illustration is a little much... but the story is interesting! Puts a whole new spin on believing in your country...
Meta film critique - I can't not share.
Lots of interesting pieces about women in the arts - an electronic music story from the Times, and a list of women in contemporary culture that will inevitably make you happy.
Finally - this may as well be Friday Night Lights.
