obsoletethebook: I did this little piece that ran today in The Washington Post’s Book World. (OBSOLETE actually started out as a cover story in The Washington Post Magazine last year.) Books and newpapers and magazines are, of course, both subjects in the book. Tumblr isn’t. Think about that for a moment. Or don’t. Or think about this: does the spelling of “Tumblr” mean the beginning of the end...

Andrew Sullivan →
A Twitter friend, @cthon1c, just Tweeted this. Twit this. Twote? A boy named Andrew Sullivan broke my foot in third grade. But it wasn’t this Andrew Sullivan. I remember thinking, “One day, when I’m an adult, I’m going to tell people that ANDREW SULLIVAN broke my foot!” Well, so, here you go. Honestly, I think he didn’t really break it. I just blamed him. Because I liked him. D’uh. For The...

“Any book lover can identify with the shudder of panic that runs through them...”
– University of Toronto book reviewer on the fact that books are a subject of debate in OBSOLETE. With such a nice review, it’d be churlish of me to point on the irony in the fact that I had to correct several spelling mistakes in this quote before posting it… So I won’t. Obsolete...

From American Profile, 10/11/09
Obsolete By Anna Jane Grossman Hardcover, 192 pages ($15.95) Ever get the feeling life is passing you by? Well, it is—at alarming speed! This clever, cheeky and captivating little book takes a playful (and sometimes painfully true) look at car cigarette lighters, cursive writing, girdles, lickable stamps, pay phones, slide projectors, video stores and more than 120 other once-indispensable...

Dear Anna Jane, It was very nice to meet you and thanks again for taking the time to show me your place. I really love your apartment and the yard but don’t think it’s the right neighborhood for me. Hope you find the perfect fit for you and your puppy! Give me a call if you ever want to get together. Best Wishes, Bethany Sent from my iPhone
