The latest issue of Salon (http://www.salon1999.com) is now on your
doorstep. Among the highlights:
* Incest Lit. Why don't American novelists get out of the house? Laura
Miller examines Sapphire's harrowing domestic psychodrama, "Push," and
other examples of the current obsession with family pathology.
* The Salon Interview: Pulitzer-winning playwright Tony Kushner ("Angels in
America") sounds off on his White House confrontation with Bill Clinton,
the sordid temptations of Hollywood, the "outing" of celebrities with AIDS,
and America's real taboo -- socialism.
* Rocking the Cradle. Rockers from Mick to Courtney have sired children,
but few musicians sing about loving *that* kind of baby. With the release
of a new Linda Ronstadt album of rock lullabies, Joyce Millman reflects on
whether rock 'n' roll and baby-love mix.
* Anne Lamott's Online Diary: A Miracle on the Court. She prayed long and
hard for the golden boy tennis player who'd been crippled in a car crash.
Then, years later, she caught sight of him at a tournament.
* Cintra Wilson's Awful Truth: White is the new black. Keep it to yourself.
* Courtney Weaver's Unzipped: Is a kiss ever *just* a kiss? Offer your own
insights after reading our new mating etiquette column.
In addition to our weekly features, Salon publishes a Daily Clicks package,
Monday through Friday.
*In today's Newsreal, a Klanwatch investigator talks about the leaderless
conspiracy behind the current rash of black church torchings.
*In Media Circus, Scott Rosenberg comments on a future schlock sideshow
that brought together Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson and Spike Lee.
*And in Sneak Peeks, Dwight Garner reviews E. Annie Proulx's new novel, the
cold and dazzling "Accordion Crimes."
(You may receive two copies of this week's newsletter because we made some
adjustments to our mailing list. We will have the duplicate removed by next
Monday. Thanks for your forebearance. )
