> Grant is among a generation of teenage developers seizing opportunities afforded by the spread of smartphones and the ready market for their work through the app stores. Overall, Google has paid developers more than $5 billion over the last year, and Apple paid about $10 billion over the same period—and $20 billion since it opened its app store in 2008.

*** Small Things Add Up In Matthew Thomas' 'We Are Not Ourselves' ***
<http://www.latimes.com/books/jacketcopy/la-ca-jc-matthew-thomas-20140824-story.html>
David L. Ulin, Los Angeles Times

> Matthew Thomas' first novel, "We Are Not Ourselves," is an epic of small events. By that I don't mean its story is insignificant but quotidian: the particular struggles of the day-to-day. A family saga, spanning three generations, the book is centered around Eileen Tumulty, a daughter of the Irish working-class in Queens, N.Y. Eileen's existence is summed up in the first two syllables of that last name — tumult — or more accurately, in the drive to push past her limitations, which have been imposed in many ways by time and place.



*** Review: ‘The Interior Circuit’ By Francisco Goldman ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/review-interior-circuit-by-francisco-goldman/2014/08/28/09a51bb6-270e-11e4-8593-da634b334390_story.html>
Adam Goodman, Washington Post

> Part memoir, part reportage, the book offers an insider’s account of a city of contrasts. In this kaleidoscopic telling, Goldman takes readers through Mexico City’s tree-lined plazas and maze-like streets. He shows us the fire-eaters soliciting donations at traffic lights, the people hawking pirated movies and counterfeit goods, the ­double-decker party buses packed with children of the elite. We feel the summer’s torrential downpours and the dread of frequent earthquakes. He writes about drugs in Tepito, a notoriously dangerous neighborhood, rampant government corruption and a culture of impunity.



*** The Delusions We Deserve ***

Gary Greenberg, New York Times

> Why does a mentally ill person have the delusions he or she has? And, following the lead of the medical historian Roy Porter, who once wrote that “every age gets the lunatics it deserves,” what can we learn about ourselves and our times from examining the content of madness?

> But the Maldives, unlike Bermuda or St. Barts, are more complex than many getaways for European tourists. They are ruled by an Islamic government — one, in fact, that is becoming more extremist by the year.

Lloyd Grove, The Daily Beast

> Like an increasing number of baby-boomers, Paul Shaffer will be 65 and out of a job next year. Actually, it’s much more than a mere job; it’s his life-long vocation (granted, really half his life), the beating heart of his self-identity, and his dependable sanctuary of fellowship and fun—the sudden absence of which might be compared to the death of a treasured friend.
