Novel Describes 'Not Quite Grown-Up' Life of Village Voice Critic
The Emperor's Children, a not-yet-released novel by Claire Messud, has three central characters, including a book critic for The Village Voice who also temps to pay the bills. Sara Eckel, a real-life book critic for The Village Voice, calls the novel "a hypnotic, moving read," even though the "characters may seem overly familiar and noxious (well, except for the Voice critic)."

Wemple Won't Be Village Voice Editor After Allnew
Village Voice Media announced this afternoon that Erik Wemple (pictured) had "changed his mind" and decided to remain in his current position as editor of the Washington City Paper: "Although Wemple accepted the job of editor-in-chief of the historic Voice -- even introducing himself to the staff -- subsequent discussions revealed disagreements over newsroom management," VVM explained. Executive Editor Mike Lacey said Wemple's reservations were "not unreasonable." Wemple released his own statement, saying that he continues "to believe that the people at Village Voice Media are committed to a great editorial product, as evidenced by the great newspapers that they publish across the country."

Erik Wemple Named Editor of The Village Voicenew
"Given The Voice's devotion to the New York political and cultural scene, Mr. Wemple is an unorthodox choice," writes Motoko Rich of the New York Times, who notes that the Washington City Paper editor-in-chief has spent his entire career in the capital. "(New York) is a huge place I know very little about, and it's important for me to be very upfront about that," Wemple admits. Nevertheless, he isn't shy about criticizing the work of his future employees: "There's not enough evidence that people are thinking about innovative and fun ways to craft and present journalism," he claims. "(I)t just doesn't seem like the staff has enough fun producing a newspaper." The Schenectady, N.Y. native, who is scheduled to start his new job in July, also tells the Times that he plans to bring a non-ideological approach to news coverage at the Voice.
