The Washington Post made the somewhat surprising announcement today that its website, Washingonpost.com, will begin publishing fiction. The first work will be a serializing of Business section reporter David Hilzenrath's 412-page debut novel. The book, a contemporary thriller set in the Middle East featuring a journalist protagonist and a hunt for a mysterious 2,000-year-old document (presumably not a rubbing of the Holy Grail) is entitled "Jezebel's Tomb" and will be updated each Monday and Thursday, with the first installment currently online. In a coinciding deal with digital publisher Lulu Inc., readers can buy paperback copies of the novel, to be printed only on demand.

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
