It would be entirely remiss if Meet At The Gate didn't feature the Literary Saloon, one of the web's top literary weblogs. Celebrating its tenth year online, its parent site the Complete Review can truly be classified as one of the oldies but goodies.
Site owner Michael Orthofer picks the literary news of the day that he deems most interesting, and given the reach and influence of the Literary Saloon, it becomes interesting to the rest of the literary blogging world, too.
