Photographs of Dickens's London
More about the book here. There’s also a rather cool iPhone/iPad app, Dickens Dark London. (via 19th-century Photographs Dickens’s Victorian London. This was the best site for linking to the photos, but you may want to visit The Telegraph’s article for expanded and very informative captions.)

Letter From Detroit
lareviewofbooks: INGRID NORTON writes us from the Motor City. I was sitting in the Telway diner around the edge of midnight. The Telway is a story in itself: a chrome island built during the 1940s, floating on a blighted stretch of Michigan Avenue. Telway is staffed by the Appalachian whites who long ago moved to Detroit for work and, more recently, to the suburbs to live. It’s open 24 hours...
