THE FEED: JUL 16TH

What we're reading:

An interview with Carlos Acosta (Time): The dancer dubbed "Air Acosta" for his legendary leaps may be hanging up his ballet shoes

Marine combat artists (New York Times): These marines see combat through an artist's eye and record it all on canvas

Remembering Sir Charles Mackerras (Telegraph): A fine conductor who used his Australian bluntness to achieve nothing less than perfection

Today's quote:

"[Cameron Pierce, author of "Ass Goblins of Auschwitz"] might have actually managed to create a genuinely disturbing work of fiction, the literary equivalent of Schindler's List rewritten by the Marquis De Sade and filmed as a Tim Burton animated feature."

~ Damien G. Walter, "Bizarro Fiction" (Guardian)
