John Marshall, longtime book critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, offers a farewell column that has tidbits on all kinds of literary notables from the past decade. Among his observations:

Strangest moment: Memoirist Mary Karr ("The Liars' Club") packing as I asked questions in her hotel room. No other author folded tiny bikini undies during an interview.
Fave repeat author interviews: Richard Ford and the late David Halberstam. Frank, generous, thoughtful.
Most unexpected interview visitors: Amy Tan arriving with a mesh bag that contained her two tiny Yorkshire terriers.

Meanwhile, another class act among book reviewers, John Mark Eberhart, is reportedly a victim of cuts at The Kansas City Star.
