Books: Harlem is Nowhere, pissing on Borges, Safran Foer tortures his dog

In Harlem is Nowhere, Sarifa Rhodes-Pitts examines Harlem history and there seems to be a comparison between the threats of the current gentrification and the urban plight of earlier years.  (Salon) Oh, Harlem, how I miss thee.  A writer decides to honor Borges by pissing on his grave; outrage ensues. (Guardian)  Johnathan Safran Foer tried to make his dog a vegetarian , which may indicate something vaguely disturbing about the author.
