Please remember: In synch with the ethos of the web, the list below is always in the making. Please let us know if you've made new discoveries (or spotted broken links) as you make your excursions into cyberia, and please check out related web pages on this site as well.
Note as well that, while many web sites may be informative and useful, they are typically no substitute for the more sustained scholarly discussion of a book.
This site is under construction, so please check back often. As well, please consult CALPAL (Contemporary American Literature Pal) and please check out JAZZPAL and FILMPAL on this site.
