New York magazine has generously (and not unwisely) pointed to Novel-T in this week's Approval Matrix, calling Novel-T's a "great gift for geeks." There's the Kurt Vonnegut #5 jersey, just chilling–where else?–between Woody Harrelson and Marilyn Monroe. It's pretty much the bar scene of our dreams. And who knows, maybe Kurt and Marilyn are having a drink and a smoke right now in that great dive bar in the sky.

Novel-T is in Miami, Florida for the weekend for the Miami Book Fair, one of our favorite events of the year. For a couple kids from New York, it's hard to beat the chance to shoot down to the sunny climes of South Florida to talk books for a few days. It's also a good chance for us to talk about one of the newest additions to the Novel-T league, Zora Neale Hurston. Hurston was a great student of the culture and history of Florida, both of which she brought to bear in her most widely-read novel, Their Eyes Were Watching...
The Bartleby T-Shirt: We'd Prefer Not To Tell

Novel-T's Bartleby t-shirt, paying homage to Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener, features the "not" or "do not enter" sign on the front and the number 9 on the back. Like all the numbers on Novel-T jerseys, the 9 is significant–but it requires a kind of creative leap of logic to make the connection. Want us to tell you why Bartleby is 9? Sorry but no, we'd prefer not to. But speaking of Bartleby and creative leaps, here's video we dig that's based on the story:
Walt Whitman T-Shirts: the jersey and Walt's With Me

Novel-T is crazy about Walt Whitman. We're so crazy for Whitman, in fact, that we offer two Walt Whitman t-shirts: our standard Walt Whitman jersey and our Walt's With Me special edition tee shirt. Whitman is taught less and less in high schools, so fewer readers are encountering him these days. If you don't know where to start, consider "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" and "Song of Myself." No matter how many times we've done it, reading those poems always puts us in a good mood. We're also put in a good mood when we discover other folks that are ecstatic about...
Book T-Shirts or Literary T-Shirts?

At Novel-T, we like to think of our shirts as "literary t-shirts" or "literary t-shirt jerseys" or "literary jerseys." But there are many who prefer a simpler a name: "book t-shirts"--or even the super-succinct "book shirts." The appellation "book t-shirts" has its merits. It's simple in just the way that the best writing is: straightforward and succinct. There's no haughtiness there. But some of our shirts are not "about books" so much as they're about authors. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn each appear in two books each. Still, we suppose they are book t-shirts. But our Poe shirts are...
