The latest happenings in the world of books and related topics:

• The L.A. Times Jacket Copy book blog dredges up some more bad writing tips.

• Murderati has a great post discussing the realities of using real people and places in your novel, and just how it works. Worth a look.

• The New York Times is reporting the death of famed literary agent Pat Kavanagh. They also review Eminem's new memoir.

• The L.A. Times (again, via Largehearted Boy) on Mia Kirshner's new book.

• The Onion AV Club on Michael Connelly's latest.

• New York Magazine's VULTURE blog on the confusing publicity for Synecdoche, New York. Also, Javier Bardem is working again.
