Sexuality on Display, Repeatedly. This heartily pornographic memoir by Catherine Millet, an art critic with a "Belle de Jour"-style appetite for debasement, bluntly recounts her tireless adventures. By Janet Maslin. [New York Times: Arts]

For a less-jaundiced eye, glance at The Lady is a Tramp, a review by Joy Press in The Village Voice

The French! They are a funny race
They fight with their feet
They fuck with their face

A New Imprint Is Dedicated to Black Readers. Of the five imprints in major publishing companies committed to books on black subjects, Harlem Moon will be the only one to offer all its books as trade paperbacks. By Martin Arnold. [New York Times: Arts]

'A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know' has been attributed to H. L. Mencken cited by [Quotes of the Day] [The All Electric Media Weblog].

I like this epigram, although whether it was said (or written) by H. L. Mencken is doubtful. The problem with most collections of quotations, on shelf or online, is that their sources are undocumented, or cited so casually or inaccurately that they are hard to credit.

On shelf, among the few volumes which meticulously document their attributions are The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations and The Quotable Woman.

Online, Sprezzatura is among the few quotation collections which publishes carefully-documented citations.
