Marjorie Perloff’s consideration of Guy Davenport in Sibila is interesting in her focus on how his book reviews functioned.
More Guy Davenport: an essay by Jeet Heer at Sans Everything considers Davenport as a cartoonist. Missed this before.
And the Abbeville Press edition of the Codex Seraphinianus seems to be online in its entirety. One assumes this won’t last very long, as Rizzoli has it back in print; buy your own copy here (which comes with a “Recodex” booklet compiling criticism of the work, including the Italo Calvino introduction). One notes as well that Serafini seems to have written an introduction to an Italian edition of Jules Renard’s Natural Histories published last year.

Hugh Kenner’s essays on computers in the Harper’s archive (subscription required): “Out my computer window: Travels in the land of BIX”, from November 1989 on how one used computer bulletin boards then; and “The wherefores of how-to”, from March 1984, on computer magazines and the do-it-yourself tradition.
Worthy of close inspection – especially in the light of recent hubbub about the accuracy of Google’s scanning – is Kenner’s “The computerized Ulysses: Establishing the text Joyce intended” (April 1980), describing in loving detail the horrifically primitive computers used to generate the Gabler Edition.
New York Earwicker Night is covered in El Pais.
