What does it say about how we value our literary lions now when Jonathan Franzen is the first living author placed on Time magazine's cover since Stephen King appeared there a decade ago?

I have learned that FX’s Ryan Murphy limited series Katrina: American Crime Story is moving full steam ahead, acquiring the book Five Days At Memorial by Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink as source material. Scott Rudin, who had bought the rights to the book shortly after it came out in 2013, has come on board as an executive producer alongside the Emmy-winning ACS trio of Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.

Tracking Board
Despite the departure of Guillermo Del Toro, it’s now apparent that the Justice League Dark adaptation, otherwise known as Dark Universe, is moving forward under the guide of Scott Rudin. Del Toro is still staying on as a producer, though he’ll no longer direct.
