In our first wind up of October, I look at books most recently read and reflected upon, roam through some of the most compelling literary writing around the blogosphere, pause over earlier posts that merit another look, mark a small constellation of notable dates (including the birthdays of Gore Vidal, Alain‑Fournier and Anne Rice) and highlight a selection of engaging pieces from around the Internet.
