The National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) has a blog which features prominent contemporary writers writing about prominent contemporary writers (and some not so contemporary).
If you look forward each year to the announcement of the
National Book Award winners, then this blog is for you:
Critical Mass
The New York Review of Books also has a blog that was started slightly less than a year ago:
A Different Stripe
And here's a link to their regular publication:
New York Review of Books
For the more esoteric reads,
try the LitBlog Co-Op, an effort to "unite the leading literary weblogs for the purpose of drawing attention to the best of contemporary fiction, authors and presses that are struggling to be noticed in a flooded marketplace."
